At first glance, the snack, the name of which has practically become synonymous with junk food, and healthy eating have nothing in common. But these are prejudices! You can prepare dietary PP chips from non-traditional products. Their calorie content will not force you to limit the amount of your usual diet; in addition, you will saturate your body with vitamins and microelements.
Thin slices of potatoes with salt fried in oil until crisp and translucent are a real carbohydrate bomb. Natural potato chips contain about 500 kcal per 100 g, which is a quarter of the total daily requirement for an adult who is not losing weight. But the most unpleasant thing is that well-known manufacturers do not make their product from potato wedges. The composition of most chips can only be known by a chemist.
