PHOENIX, June 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Boulder Canyon™
Foods, a leading minimally-processed snack food brand, expands its
popular kettle cooked potato chip line with the addition of
Coconut Oil Kettle Cooked Potato Chips, a kettle-style
potato chip cooked exclusively in better-for-you coconut oil.
Available nationwide in June, the chips have a suggested retail
price of $3.49-$3.99 per 5.25-ounce
package.
Coconut Oil Kettle Cooked Potato Chips are made in the
traditional Boulder Canyon manner, using only real, clean food
ingredients that are simple to read and easy to understand. In
fact, the new Coconut Oil chips have just three simple
ingredients: potatoes, coconut oil and sea salt.
Like all Boulder Canyon snacks, Coconut Oil Kettle Cooked
Potato Chips contain no trans fats, no cholesterol and no MSG.
In addition, they are gluten-free, Kosher-certified and Non-GMO
Project-verified.
The chips are cooked using Boulder's small-batch kettle method,
which uses 100 percent coconut oil to provide a remarkable crunch
and a light finish that is crisp and clean. In addition to its
unique, delicious taste, coconut oil features monounsaturated fats,
which are considered healthier than traditional cooking oils that
contain saturated fats. Additionally, Boulder's kettle cooked
approach provides 22 percent less fat when compared to traditional
continuous-cooking methods.
"We've introduced a number of chips cooked in premium oils in
the past year, including olive and avocado oils, so we felt coconut
oil was really the next frontier," said Steve Sklar, senior vice president and general
manager for Boulder Canyon Authentic Foods. "In this case, the
coconut oil imparts a subtle flavor that isn't so much sweet as it
is buttery and rich. At the same time, the finish is incredibly
light and clean. We touch it with just a hint of sea salt so as not
to mask any of the natural flavors, and the result is a potato chip
that is different than anything you can find in the snack food
aisle today."
Boulder Canyon continues to push the boundaries of traditional
snack foods with a belief that real food ingredients taste better
than processed foods ever could. All of the company's unique
products are minimally processed and feature only simple, real-food
ingredients.
