5 Korean Baby Snacks that Shouldn't Just Be for Babies

Growing up, I thought that the best part of being a big sister would be taking care of my younger brother. If I am being honest, the favorite part of growing up with a younger sibling was the snacks that my mom would bring with her. I still remember eating my brother's banana flavored rice puffs and wondering why on earth they were advertised as baby snacks when they tasted so good.
If your everyday Korean snack already tastes delicious, imagine what the baby snacks taste like. Here are a few Korean baby snacks that shouldn't be classified as "just for babies."
1. RicePapa
Despite the plain appearance, RicePapa is quite popular. While the chip-shaped snack is soft and more geared towards babies, the long and short puffed snacks are crunchy. Be careful, though. The puffed snacks, especially the short ones, can be rather addicting. The next thing you know, you will have eaten the whole package by yourself in one sitting.
2. NaeIBeuRo
Among all of the baby snacks out there, it is hard to find a brand that offers snacks in as many shapes, colors, and flavors as NaeIBeuRo. Not only does each type of snack come in different shapes, but you can also choose to have either a fruit or a vegetable flavor. Out of all the shapes, the rings are the obvious winner.
3. Strawberry Grain Friend
The worst part about having strawberries as your favorite fruit is finding strawberry-flavored snacks that don't taste overly artificial. Living true to its name, this strawberry snack is not overly sweet or artificially flavored. As if this snack was not perfect enough for the strawberry lovers out there, the Strawberry Grain Friend also comes individually wrapped, making it easy to bring it along with you on any occasion.
4. Buckwheat Snack and Potato Sticks
It is difficult to find pictures of these two snacks separately, and there is a reason for that. Despite the dense appearance, the buckwheat snack is light, similar to that of the typical rice puff snack. Neither the buckwheat snack nor the potato stick contains fat or gluten. Both of the slightly sweet snacks are surely tasty enough to satisfy your craving for a crunchy snack without the guilt.
5. Lusol Hot Dog
Who said that baby snacks only had to be rice-based? Many people top off this breaded hot dog with just ketchup. If they are feeling really gourmet, they roll it in sugar after heating and then add ketchup as the finishing touch. The best part about this corndog is that it is the perfect size for a small snack, easy to grip and not too messy.
Why Korean Baby Snacks Win With Adults Too
Out of all of these Korean snacks for babies, it is impossible to choose just a favorite one. Looks like the only solution is to eat them all. Korean baby snacks tend to skip the salt, the sugar, and the artificial flavorings that overload most adult snacks, which is exactly why they leave such a clean, addicting taste. They are also engineered to be easy to grip, easy to dissolve, and easy to bring anywhere. That is everything anyone wants out of a snack, regardless of how many teeth they have.
