Salted crisps, commonly known as potato chips, are thinly sliced potatoes that are fried or baked to achieve a crunchy texture, then seasoned with salt for flavor. Originating from 19th-century American cuisine, crisps have become a globally loved snack. Their primary ingredients include potatoes, vegetable oil, and salt, though some varieties may also contain preservatives or additives. While crisps provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, they are typically high in calories, unhealthy fats, and sodium, making them a less nutritious choice when consumed in excess. The frying process can lead to the formation of compounds like acrylamide, which may have health risks. On the healthier side, baked versions or those made with natural oils can offer slightly lower fat content. Moderation is key to enjoying salted crisps as part of a balanced diet without negatively affecting overall health.
