Available in 5 fantastic flavors: Original, Original Barbecue, Picante 'N Cream Cheese, Garlic 'N Cilantro, and Sour Cream 'N Onion. The products contain 40% less fat and 200% more fiber than regular potato chips, and are free of monosodium glutamate (MSG), artificial flavors or coloring, and hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. Yuca is a tropical vegetable grown organically in the Carribean. Within hours of harvesting, the fresh roots are immediately sliced and processed into chips. This speedy process the company says, preserves the nutrients, making these chips unsurpassed in flavor and freshness. Amazingly, these chips tasted similar to potato chips and our testers enjoyed the thicker slices of chips which they felt resulted in a more robust flavor and crunch. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed these products and agreed that they are of excellent quality! Chips come in snack-size one ounce bags, family-style seven ounce bags and a one pound food service bag.
