Wasabi Peas

Wasabi Peas are crunchy, wasabi‑flavoured roasted peas popular as a spicy snack and bar nibble, often found in Japanese‑influenced and international snack mixes. They are known for their sharp heat from the wasabi coating and a crisp, roasted pea center. Nutritionally they act as an energy‑dense, plant‑based snack and provide a noticeable amount of protein — about 14.1g of protein per 100g — along with carbohydrates from the pea and the coating. They also contain small amounts of micronutrients such as vitamin K and trace minerals like manganese and copper. Because they are a flavoured, coated and processed snack, they’re best enjoyed in moderation as an occasional crunchy treat; they do, however, offer a better plant‑protein profile than many pure potato chips and deliver a satisfying texture and bold flavour.
