haleyj 10 Posted February 25, 2007 We have an Amish community not far from us, we drove up there today and went into one of the stores there, I found Mixed Vegetable Chips. Here is a list of the ingredients: carrots,squash, sweet potatoes, taro, green beans, soybean oil, dextrim, salt. I bought a bag and I tried them, very good and crunchy like potatoe chips. I just don't know if I should eat something like this, what do you all think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*WWDonna* 0 Posted February 25, 2007 I think they are probably very similar to potato chips. Â Do they have about 150 cal per serving? Are they fried in the oil? Â I suspect they are about 3 points for a very small serving, just like potato chips are. Â Whether you want to eat them is up to you. Â Personally, I would pass!

scorpio rising 10 Posted February 25, 2007 It's the oil not the potato that is pointy about potato chips. I have a feeling they are prepared like potato chips as well. Do they leave a grease print on a paper towel? Em SW 189.5 CW 173.2 Goal=155 (10% 159) Lifetime 12/06 at 155# "Never give up. . . and never surrender." Cmdr.

haleyj 10 Posted February 26, 2007 They don't leave grease on a paper towel and there is no grease on the inside of the bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

straightarrow 10 Posted February 26, 2007 If you need a crunch without the oil, try some of the dried veggies from http://www.justtomatoes.com. They are wonderful and not fried so more point-friendly. HTH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
