Tayto's New Salt and Vinegar Lentil Chips Are the Lighter Snack You'll Actually Want
There’s a particular kind of snack that lives in the sweet spot between actually tastes good and doesn’t feel like a total disaster. You know the one. The bag you reach for at 3pm/ when the kids are finally in school/when the kitchen is quiet for approximately eleven minutes, and you just need something that hits right without the guilt spiral that follows a full bag of regular crisps.
Tayto has been quietly building something in that space with their Lentil Chips range, and now they’ve gone and added a new flavour to the lineup: Tayto Lentil Chips Salt & Vinegar. If salt and vinegar is your go-to, this one’s worth knowing about.
All the zing, a little lighter
Made with lentils rather than potato, Tayto Lentil Chips Salt & Vinegar brings that bold, mouth-puckering zing you’d expect from a classic salt and vinegar crisp, wrapped up in a snack that sits differently on the conscience. The bag flags 40% less fat, high in fibre and around 90 kcals per serving, which, if you’re the kind of person who reads the back of a packet while the kettle boils, will be a fairly welcome set of numbers.
And it’s not a compromise. That’s the thing. Tayto isn’t shy about flavour at any level, and the lentil chip format still delivers a proper crunch. It’s not the cardboard-y, vaguely-sad “healthy snack” that ends up forgotten at the back of the press. It’s an actual snack that happens to be made from lentils.
Lentil Chips Salt & Vinegar — a lighter snack option.
Fits around real life (which is, let’s be honest, chaos)
The beauty of a sharing pack is the flexibility. You can pop it in the car for after school chaos, leave it on the counter for whoever gets there first, or absolutely not share it and eat it at the kitchen table alone in peace after the 9pm bedtime that actually happened at 10:15. No judgement.
Tayto positions this one as a snack that fits into everyday routines, whether that’s a desk lunch when you’re working from home, a pre-dinner nibble or something to pass around during a film on the couch. Given that salt and vinegar is a flavour most Irish households already love, it’s an easy sell.
Where to get it
Tayto Lentil Chips Salt & Vinegar is rolling out to retailers nationwide this November in sharing packs, with an RRP of €3.15 for a 100g bag. No artificial colours, no artificial flavours, no added MSG. Full flavour, fewer regrets.
