What You Should Know

You'll spot this slim bag in the natural foods aisle or snacking section—often grabbed by someone scanning for a crunchy, slightly exotic alternative to potato chips. It gives an adventurous-yet-wholesome vibe: familiar crunchy indulgence with simple, recognizable ingredients. The crisp texture and short ingredient list (cassava, coconut oil, salt) point to fried/processed snack manufacturing rather than the industrial ingredient cocktails typical of ultraprocessed foods.
