Trader Joe's Norwegian Sourdough Rye Chips, 130g

In Scandinavia, rye has been a staple since at least the Middle Ages. But why rye? The key to rye’s rise lies in this grassy crop’s ability to flourish in a colder climate. It also had to do with rye’s dense, earthy, and pleasantly sour character when milled and used in baked goods. TJ's Norwegian Sourdough Rye Chips capitalize on rye’s goodness by delivering this dark, delicious grain in a crisp, seedy cracker.
 
A bakery in Norway makes TJ's Sourdough Rye Chips. First, they bake bread from a wheat and rye sourdough that includes whole-grain rye berries, sunflower seeds, and flax seeds. The bread is thinly sliced, fried in sunflower oil, and finished with a touch of salt. Each curved, irregularly shaped Chip has a super crunch that leads to nutty notes and rich rye flavor.
 
We enjoy TJ’s Norwegian Sourdough Rye Chips as a snack right out of the bag, but you can also use them to add crunch to your salad. And they’re strong enough for dipping into something savoury, such as Chunky Artichoke Jalapeño Dip. For a more substantial snack, pair them with Oak Smoked Salmon Pieces and thin slices of Denmark Havarti.
