The packaging is cheery enough, speckled with blue designs of flowers, birds, corns, and other chippy regalia – the typography is also festive and the chips well-presented. Whether that’s the flax or another oil or ingredient used in the baking process, I don’t know - this snack taster has had trouble deciphering its precise derivation. Now, these blue corns aren’t the only ones sampled with flax seed, but these are the only ones that have a strange, off-putting taste.
#Are organic blue corn chips healthy skin#
As a byproduct of their skin in the snack game, they’ve gone so far as to produce some of their own, including, you guessed it – blue corn tortilla chips (this time with everyone’s favorite – flax seed!). To be a buyer for World Market’s snack aisles is truly a snack curator’s dream. World Market is more than a standard grocery store – it is a snack lover’s playland offering random products and goods often relegated to digital carts and specialty stores due to their seasonality, small batched-ness, or niche interest. World Market –- Blue Corn Tortilla Chips w/ Flax Seeds (Taste 16) World Market Meanwhile, these blue corn are the last pick in the rankings, until we meet again – destined for better days ahead. Sampling other RW Garcia products in the future will tell whether or not I was merely a victim of a bad bag or market snafu. The salt is there, the flavor is not awful, just not robust – texture and freshness being the main inhibitors to decent chip-dom. It was more plain rigid cardboard than crunchy toasty blue corn goodness. Sadly, I could not choke down more than one of their chips. The bag has the same cantina feel as Xochitl (though they one-upped the brand by engineering their bag with freshness tabs on the fold-down panel), with a scenic landscape that conjures images of corn being baked in the heat of the desert sun, coyotes howling wildly in the distance as well as a great clear plastic window to look at their larger size chips. RW Garcia, I really wanted to react well to your blue corn tortilla chips but they didn’t reach where I thought on these rankings. RW Garcia – Blue Corn Big Bag (Taste 15) RW Garcia Taki’s can still be recommended for those looking for a unique snacking adventure, just don’t expect anything redemptive or nutritious about them – your tastebuds may be happy but be ready to potentially pop some Pepto in the near future.Ģ1. Second, despite them having the only blue powder I’ve witnessed since Lik-A-Maid or Sour Power Straws (and the only savory blue powder I’ve ever tried, period), the number of artificial ingredients, difficult to pronounce and not necessary for blue corn chips, also puts these tasty mini rollups in a different category than the rest.ĭon’t worry, despite all of the chemical ingredients, your environmentally conscious self can feel warm and cozy knowing Taki’s are made with renewable wind and solar energy (yes, it says this explicitly on the back of the bag). For one, once the spicy citrusy blue heat powder is dusted off, the chip itself is not actually blue corn despite the illusion the packaging presents – immediately disqualifying them from ranking. These semi-crave-able cylinders of spicy crunch and artificiality cannot be stacked against the triangle, rectangular, or hexagonal blue corn tortilla chip (distant) cousins. Dip them in Mountain Dew, eat them while you pop wheelies or attempt a fakie 180, wipe your blue (yes, these have blue seasoning powder) or orange dust on your shirt, and then come back for rounds 2-22.
Hate or love them, there’s only one Taki.
