![JACKSONS HONEST CHIPS All Flavors Variety Pack 1.2oz [ 35 Pack]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51nODATPwKL.jpg)
“Goodness. Pass It On” is all about our passion for sharing the information we have learned, the recipes we have discovered, and the products we are making with anyone and everyone who might like to rediscover the role that traditional fats can play in a healthy, balanced diet. Central to any good barbeque is time and patience. Our low and slow potato chip cooking method brings out all the subtle flavors in our BBQ spice. We invented a ‘low and slow’ cooking method for our coconut oil potato chips that allows the savory potato to work in harmony with the tangy but sweet spice blend we created for these chips. Grown 8,000 years ago in the Andes Mountains, purple potatoes were once reserved for Inca kings. Coconut oil is the perfect partner to this potato, giving it an unrivaled depth and richness. With 4 times the amount of antioxidants of white fleshed potatoes, these are some of the most nutritionally dense potatoes available. The apple cider vinegar we use combines its sweet apple with the umami of coconut oil and the savory Non-GMO potato to produce a subtle, lasting flavor made possible by the low and slow cooking method we invented to produce coconut oil chips. Never harsh and acidic; these Salt + Vinegar chips are unlike any you've ever tried. Coconut oil sweet potato chips are a paleo-powerhouse: a delicious source of healthy carbohydrates and medium-chain triglycerides married to each other by our proprietary low and slow cooking process.

Healthier potato chips (?) and delicious too! (4/5 green stars).
I especially like the sweet potato and BBQ varieties. They all have a nice crunch without being too hard, and good earthy flavor. Be warned that one serving (13 chips) provides 35% of your saturated fat RDA, so go easy on them! The medium chain saturated fatty acids in coconut oil are also attracting a lot of attention health-wise and I especially like that these chips are slow-cooked at lower temperatures. The unsaturated fat in regular vegetable oil can generate free radicals when exposed to high heat during extraction or high-temperature cooking, which can cause aging and cancer.Overall I’ll give Jackson’s Potato Chips 5/5 gold stars for quality of the product and also 4/5 “green” stars based on the social-environmental aspects of producing it (see below).Organic coconut oil has a significantly lower environmental impact than soy or corn oil grown in the US. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are generally pretty sustainable crops (water, fertilizer, and pesticide needs; yield) depending on how they are grown - it’s a pity that these are not organic. Jackson’s Honest are not very transparent about the operations – they don’t provide much information on the social and environmental impact of their company and suppliers (for example, a CSR report). They are a new company, so hopefully that will change over time. However, in profiles on the company I did see statements to the effect that they source potatoes from small family farmers that use biodynamic or organic practices (they do have a line of organic potato chips). They have a charitable foundation that serves to educate people about nutrient-rich foods. The larger 5 oz. bags are preferable since they involve less packaging than the 1.5 oz. bags.

2/5 no-star and 3/5 5-star equals less than one star so one star is generous!
We love Jacksons honest chips but had only had sweet potato, sea salt and purple heirloom chips. We would give those a definite 5 stars! However, we expected that all products would have the same pure ingredients. We wanted the smaller packages of the chips we like and found them here on Amazon. We expected all 5 versions to have the same pure ingredients. Instead the Sea Salt with Vinegar and the Barbeque do not have the same ingredients. They have fructose and sugar among other things. So that is why we rated this a 1 star. The company should sell smaller packages of just the ones we want.
