Simply Lentil Chips
Analysis updated April 2026 · How Scout scores
At a glance
Summary
The lentil chips contain lentil flour, which is a nutritious ingredient high in protein and fiber, contributing positively to the product's nutritional profile. However, the use of sunflower and/or safflower oil, which are high in omega-6 fatty acids and often processed with high heat, detracts from the overall healthiness. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the relatively short and clean ingredient list.
Key ingredients 4
Lentil flourGood
Lentil flour is a nutritious ingredient high in protein and fiber. It provides essential nutrients such as iron and folate, beneficial for overall health. Lentils are minimally processed, retaining most of their natural nutrients.
Benefits
Rich in protein and fiber, supporting digestive health and providing a good source of plant-based protein.
Sea saltGood
Unrefined sea salt — a minimally processed, natural source of sodium and essential trace minerals, and a legitimate whole-food seasoning. Treated as a positive ingredient.
Risks
Excessive consumption can lead to high blood pressure and other cardiovascular issues.
Benefits
Provides trace minerals and enhances flavor.
Potato starchNeutral
Potato starch is used as a thickening agent and provides a smooth texture. It is a refined carbohydrate with minimal nutritional value. While it is gluten-free, it lacks significant health benefits.
Benefits
Provides a gluten-free option for thickening and texture enhancement.
Sunflower and/or safflower oilVery Bad
These oils are high in omega-6 fatty acids, which can promote inflammation if consumed in excess. They are often extracted using high-heat and chemical processes, which may degrade their nutritional quality. Compared to healthier oils like olive or avocado, they offer fewer health benefits.
Risks
High omega-6 content may promote inflammation when consumed in excess.
