Flamous Organic Spicy Falafel Chips

It’s a brilliant idea: bean-based chips that taste like falafel. Although they are good by themselves, they fulfill their natural purpose when dipped into hummus. Even better than the original flavor is the spicy version, for those who like spicy food. The added ingredient is cayenne — enough to provide a kick, but not enough to melt your head.

Size: 8 ounces

Price: About $4.50

Available: Whole Foods, Green Earth Grocery

Popchips Potato Ridges

The quest for a perfect, non-fried potato chip continues apace. A new contender is Popchips’ Potato Ridges, which adds a satisfying crunch to popped potatoes. They are also thinner — and thus more potato chip-like — than other popped potato snacks. And the taste? They taste like a hearty potato chip, only crunchier.

Size: 0.8 ounce, 3 ounces

Price: $1.29 (0.8 ounces), $2.99 (3 ounces)

Available: Grocery stores, drugstores, etc.
