Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas

This is a straightforward, clean label: prepared garbanzo beans, water, and salt. The texture is firm with a pleasant, earthy bite, and the salt level feels balanced rather than aggressive. With only 2g of sugar per 100g, it's a savory option that won't spike cravings. A 9.8 score suggests high quality based on the simple formula. I'd stash this in a desk drawer for a mid-afternoon protein bump that actually satisfies. The trade-off is moisture; being packed in water means they aren't as shatteringly crisp as dry-roasted versions, and the can can feel a bit heavy to carry around.

With 0g of sugar and a stellar 9.9 score, this roasted gram is clearly aiming for the top spot. The label is still updating, but the name implies a dry roast, which usually delivers that brittle, airy snap people crave from a savory snack. It's the kind of bag you keep in the car for long commutes; the nutty aroma is strong and the flavor profile leans savory and toasty. The main uncertainty here is the oil situation. Without the full ingredient list, we don't know if it's fried or dry-roasted, which changes the fat content and that lightness on the palate.

A 9.9 score is hard to ignore, and the zero sugar content keeps it in the 'smart snack' category. The 'crunchy roasted' description promises a satisfying, brittle texture that should hold up well in a backpack. It's the kind of savory bite that can cut through afternoon fog at the office without the sugar crash later. However, the 'Ingredients updating...' tag is a real hold-up. We can't verify the oil source or any additives, which is a significant gap. It's a high-potential product that needs a bit more data before we can fully endorse the clean eating angle.

These garbanzos mirror the first option with 2g of sugar per 100g and a 9.8 score, but the 'Ingredients updating...' status leaves us guessing on the specifics. The core product is likely the same: a wet-pack bean with a firm bite and mild, nutty flavor. It's a reliable base for tossing into a quick salad or eating straight from the can with a dash of hot sauce. The trade-off is the lack of detail. Without the full list, we can't confirm if there are firming agents or extra sodium beyond the salt mentioned in the name, which matters for strict dietary tracking.

This one stands out because it actually lists the fat source: expeller pressed canola and/or sunflower oil. That gives it a richer mouthfeel and a crispier shell compared to water-packed beans. The 3g of sugar per 100g is slightly higher than the others, but the sea salt and rosemary extract likely balance it into a savory, aromatic profile. It's excellent for a pre-gym energy boost, though the added oil means it's more calorie-dense. The trade-off is the potential for a slight greasiness on the fingers; it's not a dealbreaker, but it's definitely less clean to eat on the go.
