About Cape cod chips

Cape Cod Chips are a brand of kettle-cooked potato chips originating from Hyannis, Massachusetts, and represent a quintessential snack in American cuisine. Known for their crunchy texture and robust flavor, the chips are made by cooking thinly sliced potatoes in oil and often seasoned with salt or other flavorings. Their nutritional profile reflects the simplicity of their ingredients—primarily potatoes, vegetable oil, and salt—providing energy from carbohydrates and fats. A single serving (about 28g) typically contains around 150 calories, 9-10g of fat, 15g of carbohydrates, and 1g of protein. They are generally gluten-free but high in sodium and low in vitamins and other micronutrients, as they are primarily consumed as a snack rather than a nutrient-dense food source.

Health Benefits

• Provides quick energy due to carbohydrates from potatoes.
• Source of potassium, important for maintaining healthy blood pressure.
• Contains simple ingredients free of artificial additives, making them more transparent than highly processed snacks.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains vegetable oil (potential soy or canola allergens), corn ingredients (depending on flavor)

Suitable for: Gluten-free diets, vegetarian diets

Not suitable for: Low-sodium diets, vegan diets depending on specific flavoring

Selection and Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain crunchiness and flavor. Ensure packaging is tightly sealed after opening.
