The Why:  Yes, they’re still chips, but they’re on the “good” side of chips. They have no artificial ingredients or preservatives and nothing in them that you can’t pronounce.  All chip varieties are gluten free, cholesterol free, have no trans fats and do not use genetically modified ingredients (GMOs). We LOVE these chips, and if you're going to eat chips, these are the ones.

The Health Bonus: One ounce of chips has 3 grams of fiber. The sesame and flax seeds have lignans, which are antioxidants believed to benefit the heart; the flax seeds have omega-3 fatty acids, also linked to heart health; and the sunflower seeds are also a good source of linoleic acid — an essential fatty acid.

What We Liked Best: The wonderful, healthy, nutty, off-the-charts flavor.  Plus, the company is offering a $1-off coupon on its Web site.

What We Liked Least: They’re still high in calories -- about 140 calories per ounce. Make sure to buy only the 1-ounce bags, or at the very least, keep in mind that 10 chips make up an ounce.

What It Replaces: Traditional potato and tortilla chips.

The Price: 6-ounce bag is $2.99, 1-ounce bag is 99 cents.

Other Offerings: Jalapeño, Olive, Chocolate and new flavors The Works, Sweet Potato and Buffalo.

Where to Buy: Whole Foods and supermarkets. See www.foodshouldtastegood.com
