What You Should Know

You'd spot these cassava chips in the snack aisle or the 'better-for-you' section of a grocery store and they make a handy grab for road trips, picnics, or movie nights. The product feels artisanal and a bit adventurous—crunchy and indulgent but positioned as a simpler, root-based alternative to conventional chips. The short ingredient list (cassava, palm oil, sea salt) and fried texture indicate conventional processing with added culinary oil and salt rather than heavy industrial reformulation.
