The good news: Randy Blaun appears to have invented a low carb chip.
Can there be such a thing as a healthy chip? Randy Blaun, a writer and self-proclaimed foodie living in New York, claims to have invented just that: french fries that have as many nutrients and as much fibre as a serving of broccoli.
Moreover — and this should be of profound interest to the millions following diets such as the high-protein, low-carbohydrate one proposed by Dr Robert Atkins — Ms Blaun’s chips are low in carbohydrates. They have six to eight milligrams of carbohydrates a serving [I presume that “milligrams” is a typo. — Alex], compared with 20-plus in a serving of regular chips. […]
The bad (or silly, depending on your point of view) news? The guy patented his recipe :-/.
Ms Blaun’s patent application, published in June, reveals her secret ingredient: cauliflower.
Cauliflower chips? Well, not just cauliflower. Also egg whites and calcium caseinate, which is derived from milk, and “just enough potato to make it potato-y”.
I’m not sure what to think of this, though I’ll believe it when I taste it. And if you're confused by someone named “Randy” being Ms Blaun, then that makes two of us :-/.
Have these chips ever reached the supermarkets? What is the brand name?
Have you heard about any low=carb chips that taste like corn chips? (not like Fritos or Doritos, but like restaurant corn chips)
Can you dip them in salsa without having them wilt?
What about low carb crackers?
What about low carb pasta Thanks, Brenda
