Who'd have thought that the purple juicy root vegetable could be transformed into healthy air dried crisps.
Morrison's is the supermarket next door to my gym so I often pop in there after and am usually impressed with their deals. It's nice because it is a fairly small one too so you can walk in and out in minutes. These beetroot crisps were hidden within the nuts and dried fruit section and I was pleased to come across them a few months ago. When I looked at the ingredients to see only: BEETROOT I was a bit too excited. I've not seen these in any other store except when they trick you into thinking the vegetable crisps next to Walkers are healthy however they are fried and salted!!!!!!!!!!!! NuMe is the healthier supermarket own brand and they produce apple and carrot crisps too which are just as tasty. For only 70p or 2 for £1 you can mix and match between vegetable crisps, nuts, and dried fruits all in snack bags so no over-eating possible (unless of course you eat more bags but that's not the idea)
They are so vibrant in colour and smell. Unique indeed. It's also amusing to witness the looks of envy and 'What IS that?' from the strangers who see you eat them on the train.
I struggle to not eat a whole pack when leaving the till and walking to my bike - that's how good they are.
So that purple vegetable you avoid in the supermarket is now perfectly crisp and 100% a better alternative than potato crisps (or chips). But please Morrison's sell them in multipacks so I don't look like the crazy lady when at the till!
