Simply 7 Lentil Chips | Chewsday Review

Today's Chewsday Review features the Simply 7 Lentil Chips. I’ve reviewed a different brand of Lentil Chips before and concluded that they’re just potato chips but with even more salt! Lots of you have requested a review of this brand, so let’s have a closer look…

Ingredients

Positives

Saturated fat and sugar within healthy guidelines. This is the same as Red Rock Deli chips, and about half the saturated fat content of Smith’s original chips.
Contain some fibre (a bit more than the Vege Chip Lentil chips). A 28g serving provides enough fibre to meet 7% of a toddler’s daily fibre requirements and 5% of a preschoolers daily fibre requirements. This is much less than a 28g serving of lentils!!

Negatives

Marketing

”We take nutritious lentils and bake their flavours and benefits into a bite-sized snack“ But they forget to mention how much salt they add…
”These delicious snacks offer a healthier crunch“ I would debate that. These lentil chips may have more fibre but they’ve also got more sodium than potato chips. The fat contents are similar and the actual nutrient differences are kinda negligible. So I’d say they’re equivalent.
