Review of 'Blue Diamond' Strawberry Flavor Almonds

Blue Diamond -- Strawberry Flavor Almonds
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: This is super strawberry-flavoured and sweet like candy. The smell is amazing! It smells like candy and I could eat a whole bag in 1 sitting. They were super fresh and crunchy. I know the almonds are non-GMO but unsure of the other corn-based ingredients. It's a pretty wholesome and filling snack, with a good amount of fiber and protein.

Where to buy: United States only as far as I know; online store



Ingredients: almonds, sugar, natural strawberry flavor with other natural flavors, corn maltodextrin, modified corn starch, strawberry juice concentrate, sea salt, color (titanium dioxide, red cabbage juice), citric acid, rebiana (stevia extract).
