Party-Tizers: Dippin’ Chips: Veggie

“Party-tizers Veggie Dippin’ Chips™ are uniquely designed dippable tortilla chips made with certified gluten-free ingredients. Our recipe starts with US home grown corn and a blend of delicious veggies, carrots, spinach & kale. We challenge you to try them with or without a dip. We love them both ways!!!”

There are 1 oz (28g) of chips in each bag. For a comparison, a snack sized bag of Doritos has 1 ¾ oz (49.6g) of chips. As you can see in the picture, there are not many chips per bag. I counted approximately 8-10. These are suppose to be a “healthier” version of tortilla chips as they are made out of kale, carrots, and spinach.

Ordinary tortilla chips have roughly the same amount of calories per ounce, and interestingly the same amount of fiber and protein. The only aspect that the Dippin’ Chips have that other tortilla chips do not is 25mg of Potassium. So essentially, there is really not much health benefit to the veggie chips, despite the plethora of vegetables in the ingredients. My guess is that dehydrating vegetables causes them to lose most of their nutrition. (If you are curious to learn more about nutrients in dehydrated vegetables, you can read this article.)

Dippin’ Chips only have 5 products total, which are all flavored tortilla chips (veggie, fiesta bean, super grains, blue corn, and original). You cannot buy them on their website, but they do provide a list of retailers you can buy them from. I do not know how much the snack bags retail for, but the 5oz bags cost around $3.59. Santitas Tortilla Chips however, are sold in 10oz bags for only $2.00.

List of Retailers

These chips taste like a blander version of tortilla chips, with a small spinach/carrot flavor. As for their challenge to, “try them with or without a dip”,  I would recommend only using these as dipping chips, because by themselves they are pretty boring. They are also less salty than Santitas Tortilla Chips even though they have roughly the same sodium amounts. If you like less salty chips then these may be for you.

COST: Twice the price of typical tortilla chips for half the amount.

TASTE:Not very flavorful or salty- I prefer ordinary tortilla chips. But the shape is good for dipping

AVAILABILITY: Available in fairly many stores

NUTRITION: Not much nutritional benefits despite having a lot of vegetables in the ingredients, but not terrible or worse than regular tortilla chips
