Corn chips are a popular snack made primarily from cornmeal, oil, and salt, often baked or fried for a crunchy texture. Originating in Mexico, these chips are a staple in Tex-Mex cuisine and frequently served with salsa, guacamole, or as part of larger dishes like nachos. Corn chips are a source of carbohydrates and provide some fiber due to their base ingredient, corn. They can also contain small amounts of iron and magnesium. However, their nutritional profile varies depending on preparation methods and added ingredients. Fried corn chips may be high in saturated fat and sodium, which can contribute to health concerns if consumed in excess. Opting for baked versions or those made with minimal ingredients can be a healthier choice. While convenient and flavorful, moderation is key when incorporating corn chips into a balanced diet.
