Connie's Organic Tomato Chips I had heard about these chips, but I didn't know what they were. Turns out they're gourmet air-dried tomatoes with organic spices and sea salt. Since I'm not a tomato lover, I thought this would be a tasty way for me to get the benefits of tomatoes (fiber, vitamins, etc.). These delicious chips can add flavor to salads, omelets, or sandwiches, and they also make for great munchies (FYI: they are not hard like potato chips). The only downside is that they can be high in sodium if you eat an entire ounce. Also, they are not readily available at all local supermarkets. If you're a lucky New Yorker, you can get them at Zabar's. If you're a Missoula, Montana native, pass by Woerden's Market, Osco, Good Food Store, or Rattle Snake Garden for a few bags. But if you live in any of the other 48 states, your best bet is to order Connie's chips online at www.rattlesnakecreekvineyard.com. The retail price of each bag is about $8 plus the shipping and handling -- they are a bit costly, but a bag will last a long time.
