I ate them without thinking.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Cranberries &#038; Cashews one starts off tasting like a diet Cracker Jack, and then its flavor morphs into something I\u2019d expect from a Kashi cereal. I thought the cranberries would enhance everything as they do in trail mixes, but they aren\u2019t too noticeable. They seem to provide a slight tang and chewiness. The cashews add a nutty flavor that complements the nuttiness from the wheat berries. Because I love cashews, I\u2019ve been enjoying this one more.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Triscuit-Wheatberry-Clusters-Pumpkin-Seeds-Sweet-Corn.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Triscuit Wheatberry Clusters Pumpkin Seeds  Sweet Corn\" title=\"Triscuit Wheatberry Clusters Pumpkin Seeds &#038; Sweet Corn.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the Cranberries &#038; Cashews variety is slightly more sweet than savory, the Pumpkin Seeds &#038; Sweet Corn one is the opposite. Some of the sweetness comes from the corn, and its savoriness comes from the pumpkin seeds and wheat berries. It\u2019s not bad, but it has a less exciting flavor, and it gives me the same feeling I get when I\u2019m eating plain tortilla chips.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I can\u2019t put my finger on it, but it tastes like something I\u2019ve had before. Maybe a Japanese rice snack? According to the ingredients list, brown rice syrup seems to glue everything together, so perhaps I\u2019m not going crazy thinking it tastes like a rice-based snack.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>The toasted wheat berries give the clusters a hearty crunch.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, \u201cwheatberry\u201d is one word, while \u201cwheat berries\u201d are two words.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Triscuit-Wheatberry-Clusters-Level.jpg?resize=600%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Triscuit Wheatberry Clusters Level\" title=\"Triscuit Wheatberry Clusters Level.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See that decent sized bag above. See where my finger is pointing? That\u2019s the amount of clusters there are in the bag. So the snack takes up only 1\/4 to 1\/3 of the pouch. The rest is wheatberry stank.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m surprised by how much I dug these Triscuit Wheatberry Clusters. I like them more than most Triscuit crackers I\u2019ve had. But there&#8217;s something about these that rub me the wrong way, besides the amount in each pouch. The packaging says they&#8217;re &#8220;plant based fuel,&#8221; which makes them sound as if they&#8217;re nutrient dense, but they&#8217;re low on protein, carbs, fiber, and sugar. I dunno, it&#8217;s a little disingenuous to me to make it seems like these can help us power through our days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $4.99<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 5 oz. pouches<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Safeway<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10 (Cranberries &#038; Cashews)<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 6 out of 10 (Pumpkin Seeds &#038; Sweet Corn)<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (1 oz.) <strong>Cranberries &#038; Cashews<\/strong> &#8211; 130 calories, 5 grams of fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 170 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 7 grams of sugar, and 2 grams of protein. <strong>Pumpkin Seeds &#038; Sweet Corn<\/strong> &#8211; 130 calories, 5 grams of fat, 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 180 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 3 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Triscuit Wheatberry Clusters?
