Chips
Varieties
Chips are most commonly made from potatoes or corn, but may also be made from other fruits and vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, blue potatoes, carrots, and apples, as well as more unusual vegetables, such as taro root. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Low-fat and fat-free versions, low-sodium varieties, and chips cooked in olive oil and unhydrogenated oil are also available.
Preparation, Uses, & Tips
Serve corn chips with low-fat bean dip; top salads with carrot chips for a healthier crunch than croutons.
Storing
Store them, unopened, in a cool, dark cupboard for up to six months. Store opened chips in a sealed plastic bag for up to one week.
