Product: Mother’s Farms White Quinoa Tortilla Chips – $3.99+
Maybe it was for the best.
I had an event to attend on Saturday night, so I needed a light, delicious snack to get me through to the reception. Not wanting to spoil my appetite for anything that I might be able to consume (and, sadly, I wasn’t able to eat anything that night) I needed a little bite without being too heavy or two much.
After scouring my pantry and freezer, I finally pulled down a bag of Mother’s Farms White Quinoa Tortilla Chips. I had purchased these, on sale, at my local natural foods store and had been wanting to try them out. I had some of my infamous gluten-free chile con queso in the refrigerator, so I tore into this bag and dished out a serving to accompany the cheesy dip of awesomeness.
Except…the dip was no longer any good. SO…I now had an open bag of tortilla chips and nothing to dip them in. Now, I’m not above eating tortilla chips on their own, but I really love dips. Really. Thankfully, I found a jar of salsa in my pantry and the afternoon was saved.
But prior to any dipping, I did have to taste the chip on its own for blog’s sake. Well, these were fantastic. Amazing flavor, without a lot of salt, tasting like your run-of-the-mill tortilla chip, which would normally be made with corn…not quinoa.
Well, I’m a huge fan of quinoa, so these were fascinating from the moment I spotted them. Why Quinoa? Well, consumer requests were coming into Mother’s Farms asking for better ingredients and the use of ancient grains. What resulted was a chip made from quinoa, organic sesame seeds, and a hint of sea salt. What emerged from that was one of the most amazing tortilla chips I have ever bitten into and dipped into a medium salsa. I would have been delighted to have not dipped these as they were just perfectly seasoned. They would be great with guacamole, or hummus, or queso, or salsa or…well, you get my point. But the fact that, on their own, they don’t leave you wanting anything more, speaks volumes.
These chips are not only kosher, and approved USDA organic, but they are also gluten-free and a low fat, low calorie snack to sink your teeth into and savor. Mother’s Farms has done it again and I am once again blown away by their snacky goodness. It just goes to prove, you don’t have to stick to the norm to make something amazing with your products.
