What the AI looks for in Vegetable Chips & Crisps
- Sliced vegetable vs vegetable powder
- Check whether the first ingredient is a whole vegetable or a potato starch or flour blend. Many 'veggie' snacks contain only small amounts of vegetable powder for color.
- Cooking method
- Fried, baked and dehydrated vegetable chips differ a lot in fat and texture. Fried vegetable chips are often no lighter than potato chips.
- Breakage
- Prefer sturdy root-vegetable chips or smaller bags when shipped. Thin vegetable chips break and crumble during transport.
Brands that matter
- Terra: Sliced root-vegetable chips.
- Sensible Portions: Veggie straws and light puffed snacks.
What to avoid
- Assuming vegetable chips count as a vegetable serving
- Veggie straws when the goal is vegetable nutrition
Questions
Are veggie chips healthier than potato chips?
Usually not by much. Fried sliced vegetable chips have similar fat, and veggie straws are mostly potato starch. Read the label rather than trusting the name.
