As an alternative to ordinary potato chip snacks that are made with run-of-the-mill potatoes, Calbee is now producing purple potato chips in Japan.
These limited-edition honey and butter-flavored purple sweet potato snacks are both steamed and baked, and offer a unique color and texture for snackers who want to experience something new. This new snack product is one that uses purple potatoes and features a unique twist on flavor, both of which are traits that many adventurous Japanese snackers look for from their food products when trying something new.
While pumpkin spice is one of the most popular flavors that's being offered up in seasonal food and beverages this fall, this novel product from Calbee puts a flavorful savory-sweet twist on snacks made from vegetables.
