Danielle Spicy Carrot Crispy Veggie Chips

By: Ellen | Nov 30, 2008

I've been on a dried foods kick recently, so I was intrigued when I spotted Danielle Crispy Veggie Chips on the shelf of my local grocery store. These all natural snack chips come in a wide variety of exotic sounding flavors including Tangy Pineapple, Sweet Jackfruit, Honey Banana, Crunchy Pumpkin, Wild Taro, and Spicy Carrot which is the flavor up for review. Although a 2-oz. bag was $3.29 (pretty steep) I decided to give it a shot.

Upon opening the bag, I was struck by the vibrant hue of the carrots and the spicy yet sweet smell. The chips were substantial, and each was packed with a satisfying crunch. For a snack with only four ingredients - fresh carrots, palm oil, chili, and salt - these little veggie wonders are intensely flavorful.

Each 28 gram (1 ounce) serving of Danielle Spicy Carrot Crispy Veggie Chips (half of one bag), provides 130 calories, 7 grams of total fat including 4 grams of saturated fat (20% of the RDA), 5 grams of fiber, and 2 grams of protein.

Although I liked the taste of these carrot chips, the nutritional stats are less than impressive - too much saturated fat. Hain PureSnax Carrot Chips has a less fat - 9 grams total, but 0.5 grams saturated (although they don't taste as good).
