[Ad- gifted product] I don’t know about you, but we have never eaten lotus seeds before. When Plant Pops reached out, talking about a popped lotus seed snack, I was pretty interested in trying them! They harvest seeds from the waterlily plant- a type of lotus, dry them out, and then roast them so that they pop, becoming a crunchy snack. These snacks are quite low in calorie, vegan, and gluten free. Plant Pops currently offer three flavors: Peanut Butter, Smoked Chilli, and Himalayan Salt. I got to snack on all three!

These lotus seeds almost have a popcorn-like texture, which makes sense as the process seems quite similar. The biggest difference is the Plant Pops do not have the hard shells that popcorn have, you know, the ones that get trapped in your teeth and gums. It’s a much nicer experience. The flavouring on these different snacks are also really nice, with a great amount of seasoning per bite.

[Ad- gifted product] We do have a bit of a sweet tooth in the Sullivan-Hadley household, especially when it comes to spring time and you see all of these new chocolates appearing in stores. Rocky Road has always been an interesting treat as it’s not very common in America – or at least not really around where I lived. Rocky Road reminds me of a much more indulgent chocolate bark, with more fillings instead of just small toppings. To fill our sweet cravings, Mummy Meagz have sent us their four types of Rocky Road; Original, Minty, Orange and Salt & Tender Toffee.

[Ad- gifted product] It’s not wide knowledge that I use to work at a little, local apple orchard. When I was a teenager, I got a job at an apple orchard, working with some of the activities that happened at the venue. Eventually, I ended up working within the grading part of the store. Grading fruit is an important part of selling fruit or vegetables. It’s basically when someone picks up each and every bit of fruit that is brought in and checks it over. They need to make sure the fruit have stems, is the right color, has no holes or bruises, looks perfect, etc. A lot of the grading process is literally just looks. Graded fruit also couldn’t be picked up from the ground. Once they are graded, grade A apples are bagged and sold, while apples that did not hit grade A, where used for other things. Wine, apple cider, apple pie, apple sauce – being a small and local farm, the owners needed to use these discarded apples to continue to help their profits. The Rotten Fruit Box actually takes fruit that has touched the ground and turns them into freeze dried fruit snacks!
