Eat Smart For A Healthy Heart!
Snyder’s of Hanover introduces their latest EatSmart Baked Potato Crisps
Hanover, PA – May 31, 2006 – The number one killer of Americans is heart disease, according to the Food and Drug Administration. The causes vary, and foods high in fat are a major cause for concern. So what can Americans do to help lower their risk of heart disease and begin eating better? For some this task may seem overwhelming, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggests starting small, by choosing snack foods carefully that are lower in fat and calories. By taking small steps from the start, the task of eating better seems less daunting, and serves as a realistic goal!
Americans love their snacks, and although potato chips are among their favorite, they are also one of the biggest sources of fat for Americans, revealed by California University’s Berkeley Wellness Letter. The Wellness Letter recommends looking for potato chips that are baked not fried. Good news - Snyder’s of Hanover is helping us reach that goal with their new EatSmart Baked Potato Crisps. These all-natural, light and crispy baked potato snacks are the perfect choice!
More good news, EatSmart Baked Potato Crisps are very low in fat with only 1.5 to 2.5 grams of fat per serving (25 crisps), and contain no saturated or trans fat. Compare them to typical fried potato chips weighing in at 10 grams of fat, 160 calories, and 200 milligrams of sodium per ounce (that’s about 16 rippled potato chips or 13 tortilla chips) and they’re clearly a better-for-you snack choice.
Plus, EatSmart Baked Potato Crisps provide a unique combination of taste and texture available in three tasty flavors: Baked Sweet Potato, Zesty Ranch, and Jalapeno & Cheddar. Baked Sweet Potato Crisps offer a delicate, baked–in natural sweetness of real Sweet Potatoes. And for the savory snack enthusiast, Zesty Ranch Crisps are loaded with baked-in real vegetables including bell peppers, tomatoes and spinach lightly seasoned with zesty ranch dressing. The third flavor, Jalapeno & Cheddar Crisps, have a subtle bite of jalapeno combined with a tangy flavor of naturally aged cheddar cheese.
Remember that every little bit helps, and taking those small steps are worth it when it comes to lowering the risk factors for heart disease. Overall, EatSmart Baked Potato Crisps are the better-for-you option when it comes to snacking. The all-natural baked potato snacks are just right for those who want to eat smarter without sacrificing taste! EatSmart Baked Potato Crisps have a suggested retail price of $3.99 for a 6-oz. bag, and can be found in your local supermarket nationwide.
