Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: I added slightly too much salt, so I take some responsibility for the bias in rating. I liked. it for a good side dish. I added mushrooms and it was a nice combination. I would likely buy this again, though I do wish it had more fiber. It would have made for a more well-rounded nutritional profile. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this product.
Where to buy: Bulk Barn, buy online, I think Walmart

The ingredients are great--simple and wholesome. I'm not 100% sure if the canola oil used is non-GMO. Points for anyone who can help to track that down! The nutritional profile is just not that great...it has a solid 4g of protein, but only 1g of fiber. It's also very high in sodium and not very vitamin or nutrient rich.
