My Birthday food finds are almost to an end. There have been great reviews and not so great reviews but I had fun trying them all.
Today’s treat is Feel Good Foods Gluten-Free Vegetable Egg Rolls.
Looking at their site they have 6 items, 5 of which I have never had but would love to try! What I did try was the Vegetable Egg Rolls, and I found them to be very yummy however there were a few small issues.
The cooking instructions are bake or pan fry, I am a rebel so I deep-fried. This made the outside crispy and flaky, just exactly what I was looking for. My taste buds tickled from the pure joy of the richness of the crust. However I think deep-frying made the insides just a little mushy. They were good just a little soft which made it not 100% enjoyable. I would love to try this again baked, maybe……..again the outside being crisp and flaky was so enjoyable.
I found the taste spot on as far as an egg roll goes, (I did not use a dipping sauce. It would actually be nice if they included a little pack of dipping sauce) but it was a little heavy on the sodium, which is why I didn’t dip it as the dipping would have been gluten-free tamari.
As far as nutrition goes its pretty normal for a processed food. 90 calories per egg roll (there were three in a package) no saturated fat or trans fat but oops I deep-fried so I just made them not so healthy. the sodium is 400 so I ate a total of 12000mg of sodium. It was my birthday so it was worth it to have an egg roll. Carbs were 16mg per egg roll and the protein was 2mg. Not a bad lunch but I will be drinking a large glass of water to flush some of the sodium out.
This really hit the spot with my egg roll craving. That is my biggest criteria for passing my taste test so I give this a thumbs up and I would purchase again. Sadly my store doesn’t carry all of their products so a review of the other foods may be non existent. But I think I can say they would all be pretty good.
I sure have enjoyed my birthday food haul this year. Can’t wait for all the other products to hit my stores.
