Whole Foods: Veggie Chips

These are fried slices of vegitables, much like potato chips, but, instead of potatoes, they are sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, green beens, and taro chips. These chips are thick and crunchy, there is just enough salt on them to bring out the flavor. you can really taste the different vegetables, they aren't bland like potato chips usually are. You might think that they are a healthy alternative to potato chips, but remember, they are still fried! (and potatoes are just as much a vegetable as these are.) It is more accurate to think of them as less unhealthy, they do have significantly less fat than most chips, but they don't have much protein. They come in a 9 ounce plastic tub.

  2. That's too bad! I was looking for a healthy alternative to regular snacks. They do taste good and I too ate the entire tub. I guess nothing is better that raw veggies!

  3. If you have "celiac desiese" don't eat these chips. I did and I found out they have wheat in them, the hard and painful way. They are very tasty.
