Regular chips are a popular snack made primarily from thinly sliced potatoes that are fried or baked until crisp. Originating in the United States, chips are now enjoyed worldwide across various cuisines. Their simple ingredients often include potatoes, vegetable oil, and salt, though some varieties may contain additional seasonings or preservatives. Chips are a convenient source of carbohydrates and contain some potassium, derived from the potatoes. However, they are typically high in fat, especially saturated fat, due to the frying process, and often have significant sodium levels, which can be a concern for heart health when consumed in excess. While baked chips are an alternative with less fat, regular chips are still considered a treat rather than a nutritious staple. Moderation is key if including them in a balanced diet, and pairing them with healthier sides can help reduce their nutritional downsides.
