Jacksons Honest Chips Chip Pto Bbq Ccnt O

I don’t always love BBQ chips but these are among of the best I’ve had – good BBQ flavor without being sickening or overwhelming the potato. Good texture too – slow cooking in coconut oil produces a chip that’s crunchy but not overly hard. One fifth of a bag (13 chips) provides 35% of your saturated fat RDA and 14% of your sodium (see pic below for nutrition info), so I’d avoid eating the whole bag at once if I were you! The medium chain saturated fatty acids in coconut oil are attracting a lot of attention health-wise and I especially like that these chips are slow-cooked at lower temperatures. The unsaturated fat in regular vegetable oil can generate free radicals when exposed to high heat during extraction or high-temperature cooking, which can cause aging and cancer.Overall I’ll give Jackson’s BBQ Potato Chips 5/5 gold stars for quality of the product and 4/5 “green” stars based on the social-environmental aspects of producing it (see below).Organic coconut oil has a significantly lower environmental impact than soy or corn oil grown in the US. Potatoes are generally a pretty sustainable crop depending on how they are grown – it’s a pity that these are not organically grown. Jackson’s Honest are not very transparent about the operations – they don’t provide much information on the social and environmental impact of their company and suppliers (for example, a CSR report). They are a new company, so hopefully that will change over time. However, in profiles on the company I did see statements to the effect that they source potatoes from small family farmers that use biodynamic or organic practices (they do have a line of organic regular potato chips). They have a charitable foundation that serves to educate people about nutrient-rich foods.

Love their story-love their chips!

I'm a potato chip fanatic...and particularly BBQ potato chips. I've truly tried every brand out there. I bought these particularly because of the health benefits of coconut oil, but I had to throw them out. They taste very strongly like soap and the BBQ is barely discernible...no heat and very little spice. They are also very heavy, which makes sense given the saturated fat content. I could only eat a few chips and I felt full. I suppose that could be a good thing, but because of flavor issues, I will not be getting these again.

Best Barbaque Chips I have tried!HOWEVER very small bag and grossly overpriced (not just here; everywhere).
