Grainless Cassava & Coconut Tortilla Chips
Longevity Score
72/100
Food Integrity Score
90/100
Solid Choice
One score is excellent and the other is still solid, so this can fit well with a few tradeoffs to keep in mind.
Quick answer
Solid Choice
Trader Joe's grainless cassava & coconut tortilla chips is rated solid choice overall, with a Longevity Score of 72 out of 100 and a Food Integrity Score of 90 out of 100. Simple grain-free ingredients with seeds and avocado oil, but fried-style chip build with modest protein and fiber. Strengths include short, recognizable ingredient list, seeds (chia, sesame, poppy) add some fiber and minerals, and avocado oil instead of common seed oils, while main considerations include refined cassava and coconut flour with low fiber, low protein for the calories, and sodium at 180mg is modest but chips are easy to overeat.
