Appearance & Texture: Crunchy, lightweight, spherical off-white puffs with small specks of natural seed coat.
Flavor Profile: Mild, subtle, and nutty with a neutral taste that easily absorbs sweet, savory, or spicy seasonings.
Dietary Nature: Naturally gluten-free, vegan, low-glycemic, and easy to digest.
