What You Should Know

You'd spot this bag in the chip aisle or the natural/organic section, grabbed for movie nights, road trips, or a lighter snack at a picnic. It gives off a wholesome yet slightly adventurous vibe—crispy, salty, and a touch exotic compared with regular potato chips. The very short ingredient list and fried texture point to industrial frying and packaging: more processed than a fresh root but without the long list of additives typical of ultra-processed snacks.
