So you think they're freeze dried, then fried? I don't remember
seeing oil as one of the ingredients. But I'm not sure if they had
any ingredients listed as they came pre-packaged from bulk (but not
available in the bulk section). So that's an easy loophole not to
disclose the ingredients.

I thought the garlic tasted a little off - kinda stale. And it
turned pasty in the mouth. And somebody else bought the okra, which
I tried, and we both agreed that they somehow preserved the slime
factor. And they were "sharp". Not as in strong tasting, but
pointy. They turned into gum-splitting shards of glass when you
chewed them.

But the process that maintains the vegetables perfect shape and
makes them so crispy is truly unique. If freeze dried, I would have
thought that would leave the vegetables shriveled. And they don't
really taste cooked.

I assume "they" (whoever manufacturers them) tried it with
everything they could think of, and the best outcomes have been
brought to market. I just didn't like the two veggies I tried.

I wonder if the same process works with meat...

Anybody know who makes these things? I've never seen them before
and there is no labeling except a store bulk label.

Yes, Canola oil is in the ingredient list.

They are available in the bulk section (except the Okra) at South
Central Market.

It does do that, yes, and cake badly in the teeth. <g> Tends to get a
bit bitter too, but for some odd reason I was craving it. Garlic is GOOD
for you!

I did not like the Okra. I fed it all to my Cockatoo and she is enjoying
it. I did, however, find the carrot to be excellent and so are the mixed
veggie chips.

I think they taste just like potato chips for the most part, but just
with more flavor and less starch. And no, freeze drying is unique and
DOES preserve the shape of things.

I've not checked the dehydrated camping food over at Whole Earth
Provisions, but I've had freeze dried Ice Cream in the past.
Backpacking food is interesting but expensive.

I'd be interested in responses too. :-) Freeze dried food is
fascinating. They use a lot of it in the space program to save weight
etc.

A fairly long time ago, I was buying the combos that consisted of
green beans, carrots, taro--probably more. At some point, they
were being made in Vietnam, not that that is much of a clue, and
there has been much time for that to change.

Jean,
I get a similar mix at a local store. Love it but the package didn't include
the origin of the product...

HEB's veggie chip mix has green beans. Freya loves those the most when
I buy the mix for her. It's one way to get veggies in to that silly bird
as she does not care much for fresh ones except for baby spinach and
romaine lettuce... I dried a bunch of Edamame in the pods recently and
she is also eating those. She prefers things crunchy.

I swear, parrots are a lot like human children!

The mix also includes dried sweet potatoes, carrots, taro and one other
veggie. Can't think of it at the moment.

That is what is offered around here too. The squash is zucchini.

Yes, that's the mix. I was trying to recall whether there was
sweet potato too, and that confirms it. You can have the taro!

Hmm... I'm curious now. This stuff (including the okra) seem to be
gaining in popularity around here. I don't care for the okra even tho'
I DO like fresh okra! The texture and flavor of the dried just don't
appeal for some reason.

Notice the absence? I got some. The veggie matter is sweet
potatoes, squash [definitely winter squash], carrots, green beans,
and taro. These are from Taiwan.

Yes, I got a package of dried veggies in a Japanese market mainly
because it included okra, which I wanted to try. It wasn't the
least bit worthwhile, IMO.

Then we agree! I wonder why it's so popular at Central Market? They
made a big production of an extra sign saying "Okra Chips are Back!!".
They don't put them in the bulk bins tho' as they are too fragile.

LOL! Well, the taro sure needs something. I might feed it and
the sweet potato (which is not what WE call sweet potato in the
US) to the animals.

At least it won't go to waste. <g> I'm not a fan of the Taro either.
