Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Straws Sea Salt

Refined starch stripped of all fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the original potato. The #1 ingredient by weight, making this a starch snack disguised as a vegetable snack. Provides empty calories with rapid blood sugar impact.

Marginally better than pure starch but still heavily processed. Second starch base ingredient.

Refined seed oil high in pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids. Industrially extracted using chemical solvents and deodorized at high temperatures. One of three interchangeable seed oils the manufacturer rotates based on cost.

Refined seed oil with one of the highest omega-6 concentrations of any cooking oil. Chemically extracted and heavily processed. Interchangeable with canola and safflower — whichever is cheapest.

Refined seed oil high in omega-6 linoleic acid, promoting systemic inflammation. The third interchangeable seed oil option, confirming the manufacturer prioritizes cost over ingredient quality.

Third refined starch in the ingredient list. Industrially processed, nutritionally void filler that contributes to the ultra-processed starch base. Zero fiber, zero protein, zero micronutrients.

Refined sugar in a savory 'veggie' snack. Unnecessary addition that adds empty calories.

Standard flavor enhancer.

Salt substitute used for sodium reduction marketing claims.

Retains some iron and vitamins from spinach, but as the 8th ingredient the quantity is nutritionally meaningless — exists primarily for the green color and 'veggie' marketing.

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.

Contains lycopene and antioxidants, but as the 10th ingredient the quantity is negligible.

Natural colorant with trace nitrates and antioxidants. Primarily for the orange/red color, not nutrition.

Natural colorant with curcumin (anti-inflammatory). Trace amount used primarily for yellow color.
