365 Cheddar Multigrain Chips

By: Delia L | Oct 15, 2008

I really like Sun Chips, but the size of the Sun Chip bags in the supermarket is often too big for me. I saw this more reasonably sized bag of Whole Foods brand 365 Cheddar Multigrain Chips in Whole Foods and decided to give it a try. Ordinarily, I am not drawn to extravagantly priced organic or "luxury" food, but these chips were surprisingly reasonably priced and intrigued me.

The cheddar taste of these chips wasn't excessive so that the grainy crunch could really shine through. These chips were smaller than other chips and also had an airy texture reminiscent of potato chips. I was very pleased that the chips didn't have an oily feel, which reflected the claim of "40% less fat than regular potato chips." All in all, the snacking experience was quite acceptable. Also, according to the bag, there are 8 grams of whole grains per serving.

Snyder's of Hanover Multi-Grain French Onion Sunflower Chips

By: Lizabeth | May 28, 2008

When I first saw Snyder's of Hanover Multi-Grain French Onion Sunflower Chips, I thought these chips might just have a bit too much going on to be any good - Multigrain AND French-onion AND sunflower! That's a lot to pack into a little chip. Still I gave them the benefit of the doubt because it sure sounded good.

After eating a few of these chips (okay - the entire bag), I can't say if I was impressed or disappointed. These look like SunChips, which I totally adore - crispy, salty, healthy - what's not to love?! Snyder's is also crispy and crunchy, but much more airy than SunChips. They also have a nice rustic texture, but I found them to be a little bland and under-seasoned. The French Onion flavor was extremely mild - and even non-existent on several chips. I don't know if they skimped on seasoning to keep the sodium lower than SunChips, but you do notice it.

Food Should Taste Good MultiGrain Tortilla Chips

By: Tanya Patrice | May 23, 2007

After just getting through reviewing Tostitos MultiGrain Tortilla Chips, I turned my attention to Food Should Taste Good MultiGrain Tortilla Chips. Would there be a difference? Was this just an excuse for me to eat more tortilla chips? Well it turns out that it was a good thing that I tried out "Food Should Taste Good" because these multi grain chips make Tostitos seem like they are barely trying. This is what a multi grain tortilla chips should really taste like.

You can actually taste the grain (or seeds) in each chip (unlike Tostitos). These chips aren't very salty but instead there is a slightly sweet flavor. A look at the ingredients list of 'Food Should Taste Good' reveals that they does not include only whole grain flour like Tostitos, but actually has flax seeds, oat fiber, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and quinoa - real grains! I gave Tostitos 4 kisses but Food Should Taste Good deserves a hot 5!

Tostitos MultiGrain Tortilla Chips

By: Tanya Patrice | May 22, 2007

Tortilla chips and salsa are my guilty pleasure. Oh how I hate you tortilla chips for making me like you so much - damn you! It's not that they are inherently bad, it's just that I can't resist eating a lot at once. But wait, MultiGrain you say. Healthier perhaps? Of course not, but it's nice to know that there might be some nutrition while I try to kick this hold that Tostitos has over me.

Let's start with the nutrition for a change, because the use of the term 'multigrain' implies that these Tortilla chips might somehow be healthier than the regular ones. Unfortunately (for me), MultiGrain Tostitos are no different from regular Tostitos chips in terms of the nutritional value. Actually, it's 10 calories more at 150 calories for 1 ounce (8 chips) compared to 140 calories for an ounce of Tostitos Restaurant style. Both chips list corn as the first and major ingredient, but the difference is that the MultiGrain chips also has whole oat flour, whole buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour listed as ingredients.

There is also 8 grams of fat (12% of the recommended daily allowance), 1 gram of saturated fat (6%), 6% of the RDA for sodium (135 mg), 2 grams of protein and 18 grams of total carbohydrate, which includes 2 grams of fiber (7% of the RDA).
