My Vandy Chips Review
Ancient Crunch is Redefining Snacking with Their All-Natural Potato Chips
If you’re like me, you’ve probably noticed how hard it is to find seed oil-free potato chips (or anything else) in stores. Of course I always encourage people to create their own healthy snacks at home but sometimes that’s not on everyone’s to do list. While I’m not a chip eater, I can’t help but admire what brands like Ancient Crunch are doing. They’re paving the way for healthier snacking options, and we need to support them! Let’s chat about Vandy Crisps. These aren’t just any chips. They’re made from naturally grown potatoes, fried to a perfect golden crisp in grass-fed tallow, and finished with just the right amount of sea salt.
Vandy Crisps contain NO seed oils, pesticides, or any other additives—ever! For health-conscious consumers like us, this is a game changer. Our entire family loves to bring Vandy Crisps and MASA Chips to our beach days for snacking. Oh, these chips are also a great snack to sneak into the movie theater… you did not hear this from me haha. Anyways, if you’re looking for a guilt-free snack that doesn’t compromise on flavor, give Vandy Crisps a try.

What Makes Grass Fed Tallow So Good?
In addition to being absolutely delicious and the most sustainable way to fry, tallow is very good for you! Grass is very nutrient dense, but we're not well built to digest it ourselves. Fortunately for us, cows are. Healthy cows, eating their natural food (grass) will store huge amounts of nutrients, making grass-fed tallow an incredible source of vitamins and minerals.
Grass-fed Tallow is:
1. An excellent source of true vitamin A (retinol), which is essential for good skin health
2. A source of other important fat soluble vitamins D, E, and K2
3. A source of choline, palmitoleic acid and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which have functions for nervous system health, anti-inflammation and anti-bacterial immune function
So Why Are Seed Oils Bad?
You may have noticed more people talking about seed oils. Leading nutritionists tell us that they are at the root of much of modern inflammation and disease. Seed oils cause inflammation and disease because they are mostly composed of Poly-Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs). PUFAs react very easily with oxygen at any temperature. In the body, this means that they deplete your antioxidants (for example Vitamin E). As a result, you feel sluggish and negative after you consume them. In the longer term, seed oils/PUFAs become stubborn fat that you just can't lose, because the body can't use them for anything positive. As a result, seed oil heavy diets can lead to excess weight accumulation, which makes it hard to feel and look your best.
