I am gluten free. I am not celiac, and I don't have gluten allergies, but I have chosen to be gluten free. This is not easy in West Africa, or anywhere for that matter. Snack foods are nearly impossible. In addition, I am a mom and hate pumping my kid with fried food or snacks I am unsure on.
In fact Num Nums even includes a list for you of every product in the box and the allergens its "free of." Sadly, citrus wasn't one, but in their defense, I have weird allergies. However, upon additional research, had I requested a custom box, all of my weirdo allergies could have been met.
Now, I will say this, the food was incredibly diversified and GOOD. I inhaled the Cassava Pops and even picky Andrew loved them.
Each product I picked up I was shocked to see was Gluten free and excited to try. I won't lie - not all were out of the park. The bean and rice chips weren't my particular taste, but they were interesting to try.
Num Nums is $21.99 for a single box. For the expat crowd, this is what we pay for one box of fruit snacks or chips. Though I do see the fact there is only one of everything being a problem. Forced sharing between my husband and I is just cruel. He might lose a hand (Kingslayer?).

I began looking into services like NumNums Munch Box to find new brands and discover new products. The appeal of this box is its not only 10-12 snacks but each is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Peanut free and free of any other allergy you could think of.

Overall out of 10 on quality I give the box an 8 (the products were unique and good), on cost 8, on appropriate for me 9 (gluten free and lollipops for LJ) and overall fun 6 (loses one point for in-fighting between Dubinskys).
