The Vitalia Elements Air-Popped Crisps are a series of snack products developed by the Macedonia-based brand to deliver consumers with a potato chip alternative that embraces better-for-you snacking.
The product line sees the snack achieved through extrusion instead of traditional frying in oil to achieve a light, crunchy texture that doesn't come with the added fat and calories of conventional potato chips. The snack product features a blend of corn, rice, quinoa and chickpeas to give it a nutritious recipe that's a source of fiber, protein and micronutrients with a plant-based profile to boot.
The Vitalia Elements Air-Popped Crisps come in several artisan-style flavor options including Mediterranean Sea Salt, Sour Cream & Garden Onions, Smoked Paprika and Garam Masala & Golden Curry.
