Regular potato chips have about 160 calories and 10 grams of fat per 28 gram serving. The following snacks contain fewer calories and less fat, but beware of the salt: each serving of these 'healthier chips' packs 250- 270mg of sodium - much higher than the 170mg in regular varieties.
Popchips Barbecue Potato
85g for HK$32.90, Market Place by Jasons
Potatoes are heated and pressurised until they pop - instead of being fried ('unhealthy') or baked ('undelicious') - to create this crispy snack. Each serving has 120 calories and 4 grams of fat.
Verdict: light and flavourful, though some tasters felt the flavour was a bit overwhelming and salty.
Ritz Toasted Chips Sweet Home Sour Cream and Onion
229g for HK$29.90, Market Place by Jasons
The good old Ritz cracker is made over: these have 40 per cent less fat than regular chips and are said to contain 310mg of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids per serving from soya bean oil. But they also pack diet wreckers such as high-fructose corn syrup and monosodium glutamate.
Verdict: tasty, but loses points for its unhealthy ingredients.
Stacy's Pita Chips Simply Naked
226.8g for HK$24.90, Market Place by Jasons
Pita bread pieces are twice-baked, then flavoured with only sea salt for an all-natural snack. Tasters commented that these had less flavour and seemed less saltythan the other two products - though, surprisingly, each serving has 270mg of sodium.
Verdict: not greasy but a bit too dry - needs to be paired with a dip.
