Kettle Chips in Chips

Are kettle chips healthier than regular chips?

Many people assume kettle chips are healthier than traditional potato chips, but in most cases, if you look at the nutrition labels, you'll find that the numbers are about the same when it comes to calories, fat, and carbohydrates. Some kettle chips may be slightly healthier if they're cooked in avocado oil or they're made without additives and preservatives.

What makes a kettle chip different from a regular chip?

It's all in how they're cooked. Most traditional potato chips are cooked in a continuous process, usually on a conveyor belt. Kettle chips are cooked in smaller batches in large vats of oil. Because the oil temperature changes throughout the process, the chips are thicker and have different colors and textures.

What do kettle chips taste like?

Many people say kettle chips have a more natural potato flavor compared to their other chip counterparts. They're also usually thicker and crunchier than traditional chips. Of course, just like regular chips, you can find kettle chips in a variety of flavors, like sour cream and onion, barbecue, salt and vinegar, and jalapeno.
