Joseph Banks Cassava Chips are a guilt-free indulgence now available in the U.S. Made in New Zealand, all-natural Cassava Chips are made from thin slices of cassava root lightly cooked in oil. They taste similar to potato chips, with the same crunch and bite, but no oily residue. Cassava, also known as yucca, is full of fiber and is a rich source of carbohydrates. The chips' attributes read like a health food item-low in salt with a lower glycemic index rating than potato chips, free of cholesterol, trans fats, gluten, lactose, genetic modification and suitable for vegans.

The chips are named after Sir Joseph Banks, the botanist who accompanied Captain James Cook on his expedition to the Pacific during the late 1700s and documented the indigenous plant life and people. They are made from cassava grown on the fertile volcanic highlands of Java in Indonesia. Until recently, commercially available cassava products have been made from reconstituted pulp, but Joseph Banks Cassava Chips are made from slices cut across the root, capturing the goodness of cassava as a whole food. The four flavors-Original Sea Salt, Roasted Tomato, Chili & Lime and Cracked Pepper-are made from natural ingredients and are free from flavor enhancers and additives.
