Product: Lundberg Family Farms Santa Fe Barbeque Rice Chips – $2.79+
I have a gluten-free tasting fair to thank for my new obsession with Lundberg Farms Rice Chips. Honestly. Prior to that, I had only had their actual rice products (gluten-free of course!). And while I loved their rice and risottos, I never thought to branch out into the snack-side of their company. Why? I’ll never know.
But after falling madly in love with the Lundberg Honey Dijon Rice Chips…I knew there was something good in each of their products. And now…I was actively seeking these products out.
While the selection of the Lundberg Rice Chips is meager at all of my local grocery haunts, I did manage to find the Santa Fe Barbecue flavor at one of them. I figured that would pair well with my dinner that evening. So, it was purchased and brought home.
What I find I love about the Lundberg products is how much attention to flavor is given to them. These rice chips are very crunchy. Each bite snaps and breaks with the most amazing crunch in chip history. I love it. Because chips are supposed to crunch. These turn it that crunch-level up to 11. And I mean that in the best of ways.
As for the flavor of the Santa Fe Barbecue…I really liked it. The subtle, sweet flavors of hickory smoked barbecue really shine in these chips. The addition of chili powder and red pepper cue up a gentle heat, which is very mild. Think of your favorite barbecue flavored chip…then turn up the taste volume to outstanding. That’s how these are. The flavors mix so well on the brown rice chips, which are also baked, giving them a healthier aspect when compared to other chips out there on the market.
A serving is just the right amount to satisfy. And the sweet heat that each of these chips provides is the perfect compliment to a meal, or to savor on its own.
Lundberg Family Farms continues to impress me with their outstanding, gluten-free product line. While these did not impress me as much as the Honey Dijon flavor, these are now my favorite barbecue flavored chip on the market. And one I intend to purchase, use, and enjoy for many years to come.
If a snack attack hits and you need that salty, sweet, heated crunch…look no further than Lundberg’s Santa Fe Barbecue Rice Chips. A handful of flavor in each serving. Mmmm…so good.
