What Goes Good With Salt and Vinegar Chips?

Sea salted flavour popchips in particular have 6.5 syns in for a 28g serving, making them quite high in syns, so should only be eaten in moderation on the slimming world plan. As opposed to being cooked in a temperature stable deep fryer--like classic potato chips--kettle chips are dropped and pulled from vats of hot oil, slow and steady, one batch at a time. This method ends up causing the temperature of the hot oil to ebb and flow, resulting in potato chips which are crunchier, more irregularly shaped, and veritably “old-fashioned” tasting. ALLERGEN NOTE: all these chips are certified gluten free--wohoo! Keep an eye out for other allergens though, as commercially produced chip brands are well-known for making use of potentially problematic oils such as peanut oil or soybean oil. We’ll be sure to make note of such oils on products where it pertains.

Disclaimer

Despite being loaded with four different acidic components--vinegar powder, citric acid, lactic acid, and tartaric acid--the flavor of these seems to pale in comparison to other chips we tasted. They don’t have a very strong vinegar flavor and tend to come across more sweet than savory or tangy.
