Like their line of potato chips, Proper Crisps have kept the ingredients simple & high quality for their tortilla chip, sourcing non-GMO white corn from the US and following a Mexican recipe for an authentic, delicious tortilla chip.
We like that they're fried by hand in high oleic sunflower oil, a much better option than the commercial corn/sunflower/canola oils used by the mass-market brands.
Try them with our guacamole (a must) or range of salsas and dips.
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.
