Over the past few years, consumers have become increasingly interested in better-for-you snacking, which has resulted in the creation of healthy potato chip alternatives made with avocado or coconut oil. Now, Boulder Canyon Authentic Foods is expanding its collection of Rice Bran Oil Kettle Cooked Potato Chips with Buffalo Ranch and Sweet Chipotle flavors. As such, these chips are balanced in terms of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, but also provide a mild finish that is said to further enhance each unique flavor.
While the new Buffalo Ranch flavor is said to be spicy with a cool finish, Sweet Chipotle offers a rich flavor experience that is layered with pepper, brown sugar and molasses. As Steve Sklar, Senior VP for Boulder Canyon Authentic Foods notes, "Rice bran oil allows us to cook at a higher temperature, which is ideal for delivering the smoky flavor notes that complement Buffalo Ranch [and] Sweet Chipotle."
