The Confetti veggie chips are a health-focused alternative to conventional snack chips for consumers to choose instead when looking for a more beneficial alternative.
The snack is crafted using unsellable vegetables that have been minimally processed before being cooked using low heat to help the ingredients retain their nutrients. The final product highlights the natural beauty of the ingredients like purple sweet potatoes, radishes, carrots and mushrooms.
The Confetti veggie chips were developed by Betty Lu and come in a range of options inspired by Singapore as well as her international travels. This includes the original Veggie Chips in Tandoori Curry, Green Curry, Teriyaki BBQ and Summer Truffle, while the Mushroom chips come in Black Truffle, Tandoori Curry and Green Curry.
