Convenience and Variety:

 

SaviSeed requires no grinding necessary to obtain nutrients for consumption. They come in 1 ounce packets you can throw into your bag and 5 ounce bags as well. They come in three flavors of Oh Natural (no sugar), Karmalized, and Cocoa Kissed. It carries a shelf life of 12 months.

Taste and Texture:

 

It’s flavor reminds me a little of salted soy nuts in the Oh Natural flavor. Cocoa Kissed is almost like eating mini chocolate covered almonds or macadamia nuts. The Karmalized is close to peanut flavor.

Allergen information:

Gluten free tested and approved internationally. According the back of the bag, it is made in a factory where tree nuts, peanuts, soy, wheat, and dairy are processed
