Viva Sundried Tomato & Basil Vegetable Chips – MK

I stumbled across this tasty snack in an Air Canada Maple Leaf lounge. The Viva chips are designated MK (Montreal Kosher) and are parve. The packaging on the Viva Sundried Tomato & Basil Vegetable Chips (French before English) may mean these chips are only available in Quebec as I haven’t seen them in any stores around where I live. However, according to the manufacture’s web site (www.yum-yum.com), they are distributing them through 70 distribution points (59 in Quebec, 6 in Ontario, 5 in Atlantic Provinces) in Canada as well as in Venezuela, Cuba and some countries in Central America, which isn’t good news for the USA. The good news is if you see them you should buy them.Viva Chips

These chips have a very subtle flavour which is truly targeted at adults. Their texture is much softer than a standard potato chip, but it still has a nice crunch. According to my wife “They’re great! And you will want to let it melt on your tongue like a cheesie”, and she isn’t easily impressed by chips.

As to the healthy side of snacking there wasn’t any except for a bit of fibre, but after all these are chips and who eats chips for health reasons. The packaging claims “Natural Ingredients”. A quick scan of the 16 ingredients didn’t reveal anything I didn’t recognize or couldn’t pronounce.

I gave their manufacture’s web site a quick scan only to discover that these chips come in three additional flavours (pesto, original and herb). You can rest assured I’ll be keeping my eyes open for these flavours as well.

These chips rate a 5 out 5 on our ever changing scale.
