Boulder Canyon Rice Bran Oil kettle-cooked chips are cooked
in 100 percent pure rice bran oil, regarded for its exceptional
balance of heart-friendly polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated
fats. The unique oil is extracted from the hard outer brown layer
of rice after the tuff. It is notable for its high smoke point that
allows for high-temperature cooking that results in an extra crisp
chip with a mild oil flavor.
Teriyaki Ginger pairs zesty ginger and tangy teriyaki
flavors to create the perfect Asian-inspired flavor. The smoky heat
of roasted jalapenos in the Roasted Jalapeno variety gives
the taste buds savory heat, and Himalayan Pink Salt provides
the perfect "less is more" approach to premium kettle chip
snacking.
"We enjoy continuing to push the boundaries on what
better-for-you oils we use," said Steve
Sklar, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Boulder
Canyon Authentic Foods. "Rice bran is celebrated among
health-conscious consumers for its "good" fats, and from a cooking
standpoint it has a remarkably high smoke point that allows for us
to cook at higher temperatures. The result is a chip with an
incredible snap to each bite, and the flavor is sublime. It's quite
possibly the best potato chip you'll ever eat."
The unique chips are cooked in small batch kettles to provide a
more uniform heft and a heartier crunch, and the kettle-cooked
approach provides as much as a 30 percent reduction in fat from
traditional continuous-cooking methods.
Like all Boulder snacks, Teriyaki Ginger, Roasted
Jalapeno, and Himalayan Pink Salt feature only natural
ingredients and contain no trans fats and no cholesterol. In
addition, they are gluten free and Kosher certified.
The Rice Bran Oil Kettle Cooked Potato joins Boulder's
existing line of potato chips kettle-cooked in better-for-you olive
oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and sunflower oil.
