Potato Chips: Too Yumm!Too Yumm! chips is your basic potato chips but with a few tweaks to look healthier. It claims 40% less saturated fat, but overall, it's still a typical fried snack with high fat and sodium. Good for an occasional snack, but not a daily thing, especially for kids.
✅ Decent Protein (8.2g per 100g): Higher than many regular chips, likely from added hydrolyzed vegetable protein. This can help with satiety, but you’d rarely eat 100g in a sitting.
✅ Uses Rice Bran Oil: Better than palm oil, as rice bran oil has more good fats (unsaturated) and less saturated fat, which is better for heart health.
❌ High in Total Fat (31.7g/100g): That’s a lot for a snack, even if it’s less saturated fat than usual. Chips are calorie dense, so portion control is key.
❌ High Sodium (950mg/100g): That’s about half your daily limit in one pack. Too much salt can raise blood pressure over time.
❌ Lots of Additives: Flavour enhancers, acidity regulators, and colour are all signs of heavy processing. Not harmful in small amounts, but points to this being far from natural food. The “from farmers” pitch is just marketing.
❌ Added Sugar (2.7g/100g): Not huge, but unnecessary in chips—likely to boost flavour.
Final word: It’s fine as a rare treat, but don’t be fooled by the health claims. If you want a better option, try roasted makhana (Foxnuts) or plain salted khakhra—both are crunchy and much lighter. Want to know how to pair this with healthier dips or snacks? Ask me!
