Popped chips<\/a> are similar to potato chips, except that they\u2019re popped, not fried. While they have similar nutritional content, popped chips often don\u2019t contain artificial additives or flavors. Additionally, popped chips are made up of corn, rice, and chickpeas as opposed to strictly from potatoes, cutting down some on the starch factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seaweed snacks<\/a> may sound like they\u2019re from the bottom of the sea, but they\u2019ve increased in popularity in the last few years.

Overall, seaweed snacks aren\u2019t your average snack, but they\u2019re great for your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
