Trader Joe’s Champignon Mushroom Snack
Published September 11, 2021
I found this dried mushroom snack during a recent visit to Trader Joe’s.
I liked the idea of eating a whole food in replacement of highly processed chips, so I decided to share my first impression of this healthy champignon mushroom snack as a product/ingredient review.
Ingredient Review
Trader Joe’s Champignon Mushroom Snack Packaging | Score 9 of 10
I love this packaging! Right away, the color blocking on the top and bottom of the bag draws your attention to the whitespace.
I personally could do without the decorative leaves and grass, but it’s a nice contrast to the simply colored mushrooms. Considering how much text is around the name, the multi-colored mushrooms are an easy way for consumers to understand the product.
Highlighting “champignon mushroom” in the boldest font weight reiterates what the product is, even if you don’t take the time to read that it is a “crispy, crunchy” snack. I don’t mind the two types of fonts, but it does seem a little bit busy, especially with the equally thin lines of the leaves so close to it.
Functionally, which I’ve critiqued in other ingredient/product reviews, is that this bag has a tab to assist with opening, and a resealable closure. The scored tab for opening is helpful overall and storing remaining products in their own packaging saves time and helps with pantry organization.
How much does Trader Joe’s Champignon Mushroom Snacks Cost? | Score 10 of 10
This bag of champignon mushroom snacks cost $3.99. Unlike other snack bags — which are halfway filled with air — this bag was decently filled. I felt that for the quality of the snack and the portion that $3.99 is a good price.
Champignon Mushroom Snack Texture and Flavor | Score 9 of 10
I wasn’t sure what to expect for the flavor of the crispy champignon mushroom snack. When I first tried it I thought the flavor reminded me of pistachios. The flavor was roasted, slightly salted, and addictive with its crunch!
The texture was light and crisp with ASMR-worthy crunch. I enjoyed that this snack only had four ingredients, so you enjoyed the full flavor and text of the mushroom.
Recommendation
I would absolutely buy these Champignon Mushroom Snacks again. I feel like they are a guilt-free way to enjoy the crunchy salty flavor of chips, without all of the processed ingredients. I think the price is fair (and average for most Trader Joe products).
