York Style Pita Chips Sea Salt
by B G
A relatively clean snack chip made with simple ingredients and sunflower oil instead of inflammatory seed oils. The refined wheat flour reduces the score, but overall this is one of the better conventional chip options.
- Wheat Flour – controversial · Refined wheat flour that has been stripped of fiber and nutrients, can cause blood sugar spikes and lacks the benefits of whole grains.
- Sunflower Oil – safe · A relatively stable cooking oil that's better than most seed oils, though high in omega-6 fatty acids.
- Whole Wheat Flour – beneficial · Retains the bran and germ of wheat, providing more fiber, nutrients, and slower blood sugar impact than refined flour.
- Yeast – beneficial · Natural leavening agent that helps create texture and may provide some B vitamins.
- Sea Salt – safe · Unrefined salt that retains trace minerals, though still should be consumed in moderation.
- Inactive Yeast – safe · Deactivated yeast used for flavor enhancement, provides umami taste without leavening properties.
- Salt – safe · Standard table salt for seasoning, generally safe in moderate amounts.
- Rosemary Extract – beneficial · Natural antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, much better than synthetic preservatives.
- Ascorbic Acid – beneficial · Vitamin C used as a natural antioxidant preservative, provides nutritional benefit while preventing rancidity.
