If you're looking for a grain-free alternative to corn-based tortilla chips, Trader Joe’s Grainless Tortilla Chips are the perfect option.
Trader Joe’s new Grainless Tortilla Chips are exactly what they sound like—grain-free tortilla chips. Instead of corn, these crunchy chips are made from a blend of coconut and cassava, which is a starchy, South American tuber. The chips are then seasoned with a blend of sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, onion, and sea salt. Finally, the chips are formed into triangles and the dough is fried in avocado oil for the perfect amount of crunch. As Trader Joe's explains, "It’s plenty of flavor for straight snacking—but not too much to overwhelm your salsa & guac!"
