About Wonton chips

Wonton chips are crispy, fried snacks made from wonton wrappers, which are thin sheets of dough commonly used in Chinese cuisine for dumplings. These chips are typically prepared by cutting wonton wrappers into smaller pieces and frying or baking them until golden and crisp. Originating from Chinese culinary traditions, wonton chips are now enjoyed worldwide as a versatile appetizer or snack, often served with dips like sweet chili sauce or guacamole. Nutritionally, wonton chips are primarily composed of carbohydrates due to the flour-based wrappers and contain small amounts of protein and fat. They are calorie-dense, largely because of frying, and don't inherently provide significant vitamins or minerals. Variations like baked wonton chips offer a slightly lighter alternative for those monitoring fat and calorie intake.

Health Benefits

• Provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, largely from enriched wheat flour.
• Contain small amounts of protein (approximately 2-3 grams per serving) from wheat and egg-derived ingredients in the wrappers.
• Low dietary fiber content can be increased if paired with vegetable-based dips or sides, promoting digestive health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains wheat, eggs

Suitable for: Vegetarian (if no meat-based fillings or toppings are added), lacto-ovo vegetarian

Not suitable for: Gluten-free diets, vegan diets (if eggs are used in the wonton wrappers), low-fat diets (especially if fried)

Selection and Storage

Store leftover wonton chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispiness. Reheat briefly in an oven or air fryer to restore texture if they become soft.
