This is the 170g sharing bag, and the pack names Blanco Niño as the maker.The ingredientsAccording to the published pack listing, the chips are made from non GMO white corn (74%), high oleic sunflower oil, rice flour, salt, spices (jalapeño pepper 1%, cayenne pepper and black pepper), onion powder, citric acid, lactic acid, garlic powder, dried parsley, yeast extract and flavouring.White cornWhite corn makes up 74% of the chips. It gives a lighter colour and a cleaner, more delicate corn flavour than yellow corn. The listing says the corn is non GMO.JalapeñoJalapeño is the green chilli of Mexican cooking, often pickled and served on tacos. The brand notes that the jalapeño is said to originate from Veracruz, on Mexico's Gulf coast. It makes up 1% of the chips, with cayenne and black pepper adding to the heat.Onion, garlic and parsleyOnion powder, garlic powder and dried parsley give the seasoning a herby, savoury body, the flavours of a green salsa.Creamy, with no dairyThere is no milk on the list. The creamy, soured note comes from lactic acid and citric acid, with dried parsley, onion and garlic giving it the feel of a herby soured cream dip, which is how the chips can be vegan.Citric and lactic acidCitric acid gives a lime like sharpness, and lactic acid the rounder tang of soured cream.How hot is itJalapeño, cayenne and black pepper together give a real, building heat, the hottest of the Blanco Niño bags we stock. The acids and herbs cool it a little.High oleic sunflower oilThe chips are fried in high oleic sunflower oil, a sunflower oil bred to be rich in oleic acid, the main fat in olive oil.
