About Niknaks

Niknaks are a popular savory snack originating from South Africa, known for their bold flavors and crunchy texture. These maize-based chips are made primarily from ground cornmeal, vegetable oil, and a mix of seasoning powders that give them their signature tangy taste. Available in various flavors like cheese, spicy, or barbecue, they are a go-to option for snack lovers seeking something flavorful and satisfying. While Niknaks are a convenient and tasty treat, they are typically high in sodium, artificial flavorings, and saturated fats, which may not support a balanced diet when consumed in excess. On the positive side, their maize base offers some carbohydrates for energy. However, due to their lack of substantial nutrients, they are best enjoyed occasionally and in moderation as part of a varied diet.
