About Miss vickies
Miss Vickie's is a brand of kettle-cooked potato chips originating from Canada, first introduced in 1987. Known for their crunch, these chips are made using simple ingredients, including whole potatoes, oils, and seasonings, and are cooked in small batches. As a processed snack, Miss Vickie's chips are calorie-dense, primarily consisting of carbohydrates and fats with minimal protein. They typically provide around 160-200 calories per serving (1 ounce), with varying fat and sodium content depending on the flavor. Despite being made from potatoes, they lack significant vitamins, minerals, or fiber due to the frying process. These chips are widely popular and enjoyed as a treat rather than a source of substantial nutrition.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy due to carbohydrate content (approximately 15-20 grams per serving).
- Contains unsaturated fats from vegetable oils, which may support heart health when consumed in moderation.
- Potatoes as a base provide trace amounts of potassium, though levels are lower post-processing (around 200mg per serving).
Dietary Considerations
