Chips with salt, commonly known as salted potato chips, are a popular snack originating from 19th-century America. Made from thinly sliced potatoes that are deep-fried or baked, they are then seasoned with salt to enhance flavor. While simple in composition—potatoes, oil, and salt—they pack a satisfying crunch that has made them a global favorite. Chips are an energy-dense snack, providing carbohydrates from the potatoes and fats from the cooking oil. However, they are often high in calories, sodium, and unhealthy fats, depending on preparation and portion size. While they contain small amounts of potassium and vitamin C from potatoes, their nutritional value is outweighed by their high sodium content, which can contribute to cardiovascular issues when consumed excessively. Opting for baked versions or those made with heart-healthy oils can slightly improve their nutritional profile. Moderation is key for enjoying this timeless treat.
