Potato Chips: Let's TryVerdict: These chips are typical for their category—high in fat, calories, and sodium. The use of groundnut oil is better than palm oil but doesn't make them healthy. Eat in moderation, not as a daily snack. ✅ Benefits: ✅ No Added Sugar: Good for limiting sugar spikes. Chips often hide sugar, so this is a plus, though chips aren't a sugar concern anyway. ✅ Uses Groundnut Oil: Slightly better than palm or cheap vegetable oils for heart health, but still a refined oil used in large quantity. ❌ Drawbacks: ❌ Extremely High in Fat (39.6g/100g, 59% DV): Way more than you need from a snack. Most of this comes from deep frying—easy to overshoot your daily fat limit. ❌ Very High Saturated Fat (14.7g/100g, 67% DV): This is the kind of fat linked to increased cholesterol. Not great for heart health if eaten regularly. ❌ High in Sodium (541mg/100g, 27% DV): This is a lot for a snack and can add up quickly, especially for kids or anyone with BP concerns. ❌ Marketing Gimmicks: Claims like “100% groundnut oil” and “no palm oil” sound healthy but don’t actually make chips a good-for-you food. Chips are still ultra-processed and calorie dense. Bottom line: Decent choice if you really want chips—groundnut oil is a bit better than most, and sugar is low. Still, these are best reserved for an occasional treat. For a better snack, try roasted makhana (like Too Yumm or Happilo) or plain roasted chana. Got more snacks you want checked?
