Dark Chocolate Quinoa Crisp Gems, 5 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd spot these glossy, bite-sized dark chocolate quinoa crisps in the candy aisle or natural snacks section — an easy grab for movie nights, lunchboxes, or a sweet after-dinner nibble. They read as indulgent and slightly ‘better-for-you’ because of organic cane sugar and quinoa crisps, but the shiny shell, tapioca syrup, gum acacia and carnauba wax reveal industrial processes and texture-modifying ingredients common in ultra-processed snacks.

Common Questions about Dark Chocolate Quinoa Crisp Gems, 5 OZ
Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective! These gems have organic ingredients and are gluten-free, which is great if you're avoiding gluten. They do pack a sugary punch with 15 grams of total sugars per serving, so they’re more of an indulgent treat than a health food. It’s all about balance!
