Following a celebration with artery-choking chips, The Guardian reports about toning down the heart with low-cal crispies carrying the same flavour. Apparently the fact features the idea of the progress made by food technology in rolling out oven chips made from vegetables with their nutrients intact.
Doubtless of the fact that oven chips are low in calories, yet facts related to food processing reveals that oven chips are not completely nutritious. Earlier study revealed in the Scotsman points the fact that oven chips are loaded with synthetic flavours in the garb of ‘natural condiments’ and salt to make the low-cal versions flavourful.
However, consumers cannot expect snack-food manufacturers to play a lead role in salvaging chips today as they cannot take the risk of playing with simple processing of chips. Consumers themselves need to be aware of the ‘oven chip’ concept and customize it with simple, flavourful and nutritious ingredients as per the standards of ‘school lunchboxes’.
