Garden Salsa Sun Chips – Mmmm…

I have always been a fan of SunChips – especially the Harvest Cheddar – but for the first time in years I branched out to a new flavor, Garden Salsa SunChips. Just thinking about them makes me want to buy another bag.
Oh my! Look at the junk food everywhere!
I ate my first bag of Garden Salsa SunChips so fast (along with the help of my colleagues) that I forgot to take a photo of it to share! We just couldn’t stop! The salty, crispy, spicy flavor had me hooked.
This flavor reminds me a lot of the Harvest Cheddar, but there is just a hint of spice in it as well. It is suppose to taste like tomatoes, peppers and any other vegetable that goes into a mild salsa. It’s pretty close. It does taste a lot like salsa and a little cheese. Although SunChips can go stale pretty quick, the ripples and the crunch always leave you satisfied.
The thing that really makes SunChips different and stand out is the use of wheat, not potato. There is 18 grams of wheat per serving (that is about the same as a slice of wheat bread) which is healthier for you and provides whole grains that your body needs. I’m not saying they are a good supplement to replace other whole grain foods, but it is a perk.
I give SunChips a kudos for now having “more compostable bags” – following the “Go Green” trend – that are easier to decompose at trash sites or in your own compost. In 2010 they plan to introduce a full-compostable chip bag.

These were fantastic! I am guilty for contributing to the empty bag.

Excellent flavor – one of my favs. Sadly, Sam’s Club doesn’t carry them and I had to buy original and Harvest Cheddar the other day

On Twitter: @Warehousemedia: Just had Grdn Salsa Sun Chips described to me as having “multi-dimensional flavors” by @elizacomm.

I agree – these are great chips. I have 1/2 a bag left in my cupboard. I think I like them better than Harvest Cheddar. Have you tried the Peppecorn Ranch? Kinda zingy. Yum.
