Raw Chips Head-to-Head Review: Brad’s Raw Foods vs. Rhythm Superfoods

Rhythm Superfoods Chips

I love easy snacks. I know, I know, I should reach for a carrot or an apple when I’m hungry in the middle of the day, but sometimes, well, I just don’t want produce. But, I don’t want to consume a bunch of empty calories, either.

Rhythm Superfoods offers Sweet Potato Chips in two flavors (Sea Salt, which I tried, and Hickory BBQ), as well as five flavors of Kale Chips (Mango Habanero, which I sampled, Zesty Nacho, Kool Ranch, Bombay Curry and Texas BBQ). The Sweet Potato Chips, which are 100 calories and zero grams of fat per bag, are organic, gluten-free, vegan, raw and have loads of vitamin A. The Kale Chips are also raw, offer a whole bunch of vitamin C and boast two servings per bag at 130 calories and 6 grams of fat a pop. The chips are created by mixing fresh vegetables with spices, then dehydrating them at a low temperature for hours, which, according to Rhythm Superfoods, “leaves the vital nutrients and enzymes intact, while delivering…amazing fresh flavors.”

There is nothing not to love about a chip that actually provides important nutrients, and I’ve got to say, the flavor of the ones I sampled was really great. I was particularly pleased with the Kale Chips in the Mango Habanero flavor ($20 for a four-pack)—I don’t love kale, but this flavor was really tasty. However, I have a hard time getting around the texture. While there is a certain amount of crunch, there’s no way I was going to mistake these for a chip, especially the Sweet Potato version, which felt a bit mealy in my mouth (although still tasted good and sweet potato-y). So, bottom line—definitely a cool new option for a snack, but don’t try passing them off as regular chips to your party guests.
