Flavored Broccoli Chips

This Low-Sodium X50 Snack is Free From Gluten and Preservatives

— August 12, 2016 — Lifestyle
Broccoli may be one of the most disliked vegetables out there, but these flavored Broccoli Chips from X50 make the vibrant greens more palatable as a snack.

The healthy snack comes in thee flavors including Rock Salt, BBQ and Spicy, which are all low-sodium treats that have been treated with alkalising rock salts and a vacuum fryer. The resulting snacks are gluten-free and are kept fresh without the use of any preservatives.

With the rise of plant-based eating and healthy living, consumers are seeking healthier bags of potato chips, as well as store-bought or homemade alternative vegetable crisps that can be made with unexpected ingredients like tomatoes, beets, parsnips and carrots. In the form of a comfort food, these snacks make it easy to increase one's intake of healthy green vegetables.

2. Alternative Vegetable Crisps - Consumers are seeking unusual and healthy vegetable crisps, opening up the possibility of using unexpected ingredients.
