TJ's Sea Salt & Pepper Crisps are made from brown and white rice and baked. There's no wheat, so my gluten-free friends can enjoy them, although the bag does say they are "made on shared equipment with wheat & soy." The crisps have less fat than potato chips, with a texture somewhere between a saltine, which is more airy, and a tortilla chip, which is denser. It's sort of like eating Rice Krispies without the rice puffing up. There's a nice salt and pepper flavor, but the sodium content is only 230 mg for a whopping 38 football-shaped crisps! You can eat a fourth of the bag, and that's a SERVING! I was pretty jazzed to find that out. (Of course, if you're watching your sodium, you should eat less, that's still 15% of your daily recommended intake) Other favorable label notes: no saturated fat (3g total fat/serving), no trans fat, and cholesterol-free.
Taste: 3 out of 4 stars.
Overall rating: 2 1/2 stars.
These chips got me to wondering if sea salt is any healthier or different sodium-wise than regular table salt. For that answer, check out this article courtesy of the Mayo Clinic.
