We’ve been doing a modified keto diet following what everyone is doing in this facebook group. However, I’m not a veggie person, and after 12 long weeks, I’m definitely not eating as much vegetable as it’s advised.
I’ve been seeing this young barley grass powder in Asian grocery store so I decided to to give this top selling supplement a try to up my veggie intake!

I add this to milk / soy milk along with some almond powder, sesame powder, flax seed, and chia seed, and it actually tastes pretty good! It’s not too pricey at $0.375 per sachet. This only has grass powder and nothing else so it sounds healthy. I will definitely keep taking this. I’m giving it only a 4-star because, as a lazy non-vegetable eater, I would like to look for other options that offer more vegetables in a bag…
My daughter took home an egg yolk rice roll almost every other Friday from daycare. It looked like a decent snack with all the grains, so I decided to buy some for ourselves. When I went online to check them out, I found at least eight varieties and ended up buying them all to try to see which ones are the best. Here are my verdict:
This feels like the staple in the pantry. Probably due to first mover advantage because this is the first one we’ve tried. We wanted our kids to have some eggs in the diet by having snacks made with eggs… Probably all the wrong reason but I would probably keep buying this. Objectively, this roll is not too salty/sweet and it has the right amount of sweetness and saltiness. Slightly stronger flavor than the taro one but lesser than the pumpkin one. Definitely can be a go-to for something light.
Because I get to compare the taro one against the egg yolk and pumpkin ones (as well as the 2 milk and seaweed ones), I would only buy this if I have no other choice. This one is lighter than the egg yolk and pumpkin ones, so it’s a really good light snack. You could smell / feel the taro when you eat it but I don’t think it has a strong taro taste, sort of like a taro ice cream that’s not too strong in taro. Due to that reason, I think I could spend my calories/money elsewhere because, even though this is pretty good by itself, I like the pumpkin and the seaweed one a lot more.
Love it. This one has stronger flavor than the egg yolk and taro ones. I thought I wouldn’t have liked it but it turns out to really tasty. Not sure if it tastes like pumpkin though. Will buy again.

Sweet vanilla taste. Tastes like a vanilla wafer. The vanilla is not too sweet but it’s definitely taste more like sugar than the other brands. I like it as a snack, but if I have choose this or the other milk one, I would pick the other milk one as this one doesn’t give me the taste of the grains I was buying for. I wanted to feel healthy haha.
Pei Tien Konjac Brown Rice Roll (Milk)
⭐⭐⭐⭐

This one definitely tastes like milk throughout the snack. It’s very filling, which makes it tastes a little like coconut. I would buy this if I crave for something rich and milky, but I probably won’t buy this if I’m presented with other options.
Pei Tien Konjac Brown Rice Roll (Seaweed Flavor)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Rating: 5 out of 5.
Definitely five stars. I love snack with the taste of seaweed and this one is quite strong. You can feel / taste seaweed the moment you put it in your mouth. The taste of seaweed makes this snack taste lighter than the milk flavor one.
These hello kitty rolls are definitely add appeals to our kids. To be honest, I don’t think my kid cares if this is hello kitty or not as long as these are snacks. However, these are just pretty to look at. It turns out they are exactly the same as the egg yolk ones (same brand) but this is licensed with Sanrio characters. I will add 0.5 star just for the fact that it has hello kitty!
I guess this is my convention then: – 5 Stars: Definitely will buy again – 4.5 Stars: Maybe buy again – 4 Stars: It’s good but I won’t buy again – 3 Stars: It’s average good
