When we look for a healthy snack, we usually don’t immediately grab a bag of chips. Chips are not the most obvious healthy snack. Still in need of a nice chip? Then we will tell you which species is the healthiest.
Additions
Actually it’s very simple. Natural chips are mainly the healthiest because of everything that is not in them. Grab any bag of Doritos and check out that long list of ingredients. We are not necessarily against a touch of flavor enhancement, and luckily in the Netherlands we can trust that our food is safe. But palm oil, glucose syrup, sugar and dextrose? Wow. Put that bag away quickly. And if you look at the ingredients of a simple bag of natural chips, just Appie house brand, you will see only three ingredients there: potato, sunflower oil, salt. That’s it.
Potassium
Did you know that there is another bonus in a bag of natural chips? Namely potassium. In 100 grams of plain chips you will find about 1,275 mg of potassium – that’s about the same as in a small banana! Potassium is a mineral that is beneficial for your blood pressure and helps regulate fluid balance in your body. In addition, these chips also contain fiber and protein. Not bad, right? So do you want to make more conscious choices when it comes to nutrition, but also enjoy a chip every now and then? Go for the natural chips!
