Green Giant has recently gotten into the chip business. When I first heard about two of their flavors, which included a tortilla chip and a sweet potato chip, I thought the connection to Green Giant was still very loose. Yes, corn and sweet potatoes are vegetables, but along those same lines, so are potatoes, which are the base of traditional potato chips!
But then I started reading the ingredients in the chips and I was very pleasantly surprised. The Green Giant Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chip (I tried Garden Ranch flavor), in addition to containing corn, also had bell peppers, quinoa, broccoli, tomatoes and carrots! The Green Giant Multigrain Sweet Potato Chips (I tried barbecue flavor) also had some interesting grains included, such as brown rice flour and buckwheat flour. Basically, once I read the ingredients of the products I could see the Green Giant connection, as these chips were packed with good for you goodness!
Tim loved the Sweet Potato (barbecue) chips from Green Giant! I had to eventually pry the bag from his hands so I could try them, too!
Last night I whipped up a super easy salsa to serve alongside the Green Giant Roasted Veggie Tortilla Chips. We ate our dinner outside on our new patio furniture, and just enjoyed the remarkably mild August temperatures. Fresh food and #GiantFlavor make a perfect combination, I have to say!
Try a simple and fresh salsa with Green Giant Veggie Chips for a great appetizer!
