BAM Snacks Makes Potato-Free, Corn-Free Chips with Black Gram

— June 10, 2023 — Lifestyle
Plenty of snacks are made with a base of potatoes or corn but not BAM Snacks' alternative chips, which are made with black gram. This ancient Ayurvedic legume native to South Asia is a staple of many cuisines and for good reason, since it's one of the most nutritious kinds of beans.

Health-conscious snackers are looking for potato chip alternatives that are crafted from ingredients other than potatoes. These alternatives, whether made from root vegetables, legumes or grains, cater to snackers seeking crispy textures and comforting flavors while offering a wider range of taste experiences beyond traditional potato chips.

BAM Snacks' portfolio shows off the incredible versatility of this ancient Ayurvedic plant since it also sells everything from black gram pasta and flour to whole beans.
