Over the past few years, consumers have become increasingly interested in alternative vegetable crisps and better-for-you potato chips, many of which are cooked in avocado oil—but at this year's Natural Products Expo West, AvoLov unveiled the best of both worlds with its avocado chips, made from real hass avocados.
The avocado chips are dried at a low temperature until crispy, then seasoned to form flavorful varieties like: Pink Himalayan Salt, Chili Lime, Sriracha and White Cheddar.
As well as being completely free from sugar, the crispy avocado snacks vegan, paleo, non-GMO, naturally gluten-free and made without the top eight allergens. As a snack choice, the avocado chips are high in healthy fats and fiber, which makes them quite filling. As founder and CEO of AvoLov Eric Healy says: "We see them positioned well to compete with, or a great alternative to, potato, corn and meat based snacks."
