A staff favorite at Paleo HQ, it's hard to go wrong with BBQ flavored potato chips, especially when the flavor comes from "real food" ingredients and non a trainwreck of artificial flavorings and additives.
Proper Crisps are keeping theirs simple (and delicious) with:
Potatoes, high oleic sunflower oil, yeast extract, sea salt, smoked paprika, raw unprocessed sugar, onion, ground black pepper, citric acid, chipotle pepper, garlic.
About the producer
Why do we love New Zealand’s Proper Crisps?
Simple - because they do things “properly.” **soft clap**
…but seriously, they’re setting the gold standard for how potato chips should be done:
- Start with high quality, New Zealand non-GMO potatoes
- Cook them by hand - see your cook’s name proudly on each bag!
- They use mineral-rich sea salt, not processed table salt
- Fried in a much better oil: high-oleic sunflower oil, which has a completely different fatty acid profile than commercial sunflower oil. It’s made from non-GMO seeds that are bred to be high (over 80%) in oleic acid, the same monounsaturated fat that gives olive oil a lot of its health benefits. Unlike commercial sunflower oil and other seed oils, high-oleic sunflower oil is not hydrogenated and is cold-pressed rather than extracted with chemical solvents.
- No artificial flavors - for their various flavors, they use real foods, herbs & spices: think actual paprika, onion, vinegar, rosemary, and so on. No “natural” or artificial flavors here.
- No preservatives (like TBHQ) or other additives commonly found in mass-market potato chips like MSG, high fructose corn syrup, colorings.
As usual, high-quality ingredients and passionate producers translates to a product that’s not only more delicious but (much) better for your body than it’s industrially produced cousins.
We hope you’ll pick up a bag and see why we love a good Proper crisp.
