I came across these at Costco this week: SnaPeasI, wrongly, thought that these were whole peas that were baked in the oven...you know, kind of like the freeze dried process for fruits.
Well, it turns out that they are very tasty if you like peas, but it's far from just an oven-baked pea pod. It's a mash that the manufacturer then extrudes into the shape of a pea pod and then "bakes" in the oven...in a process that makes them end up a lot like a deep-fried Cheeto.
I checked, and there isn't any corn mash in them, but they are "baked" in corn oil...the amount is not specified, which makes you wonder what the real distinction is between baking and frying...
