What You Should Know

You'd find these in the snack aisle or at checkout — a grab-and-go bag for kids' lunches, movie nights, or a picnic. They carry a nostalgic, 'wholesome snack' vibe thanks to veggie powders and playful straw shapes, but the airy crunch, blended vegetable oils, refined starches and added color extracts reveal industrial processing typical of ultra-processed snacks.

Common Questions about 365 by Whole Foods Market, Veggie Straws, Original, 6 Ounce

Well, that depends on your definition of 'healthy'! The Veggie Straws are lower in sugar and calories compared to traditional potato chips, making them a decent snack option if you're looking for something crunchy. However, they don’t pack a protein or fiber punch, so they might not be the best choice if you’re aiming for a super nutritious snack.
