Except maybe when they're not potato chips?
Simply 7 has put out a four-ounce bag of chips, "Creamy Dill" which, the bag tells us, is "Cool & Refreshing." But they aren't potato chips, they're lentil chips.
"We took one of the healthiest ingredients we could find -- the lentil -- and baked its flavors and nutrients into an all natural bite-sized chip," boasts Simply 7.
Lentils are good. They contain 63% of the needed daily fiber. But Lentil Chips contain only 4% of that needed daily fiber. If that confuses you, check the list of ingredients on the chip bag and you'll find that they aren't using "lentils." They're using "lentil flour."
And they aren't tasty, not even tasty in a, "This takes likes lentils!"
They taste like rice cakes with a dab of cool ranch. They're also not flat but curved. So if you're thinking, "It'll be my chip substitute" -- in shape and taste, it reminds you repeatedly it is not a potato chip.
The back of the bag tells you that 31 chips contains 130 calories. Your taste buds inform you that 31 chips have zero flavors you will enjoy.
