Product Sample: Thomas Chipman Organic Sweet Potato Chips (20 Apr 2011)

Factory 45, 64-86 Beresford Road, Lilydale VIC 3140


New sweet potato variety

Thanks to Yarra Valley Snack Foods for sending me a generous box of 12 packs of the new Thomas Chipman Sweet Potato Chips which I of course shared around the office. I think I still prefer the Beetroot Chips but these were quite well liked. From the taste testers I had around at the time the one thing that most people noticed about these chips was they seemed to feel a bit oily when you picked them up. Each packet was listed as serving 3 people so you'd have to keep this in mind. I did feel a little full after eating a few handfuls so certainly one to have in moderation to keep the fat content to a minimum. I believe sweet potato is regarded as a healthier alternative to the normal potato so if you're already a fan of the Thomas Chipman range then you might want to check out this new variety to see how it compares.

Thomas Chipman: Organic Beetroot Chips (19 Sept 2010)

Factory 45, 64-86 Beresford Road, Lilydale VIC 3140



Healthy organic chips

While perusing the shefls of the About Life store in Bondi Junction I start to quickly realise how many organic products alternatives are now available for just about everything — the bread section alone was pretty overwhelming. Today I try the Thomas Chipman Beetroot Chips ($2.95 for 75 grams) as a snack. Surprisingly tasty and generally ticks all the boxes for a healthy snack alternative. Makes me want to try their other products now.

SNAPSHOT REVIEW:
PROS: Certified organic, Gluten free, 100% natural, Australian made and owned, Guaranteed nut free, Tasty
CONS: More expensive than normal chips, Colours your tongue reddy purple, Can't stop until the pack is finished
MUST TRY: Other Chipman chips and organic products for a healthier snack
