Tortilla chips fried in sunflower oil

Tortilla chips are a maize-based snack. The figures here describe assorted flavoured products fried in high oleic sunflower oil. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat, with some fibre and protein. Per 100g, they contain 61g of carbohydrate, 27g of fat, 5.9g of fibre and 1.6g of salt.

Carbohydrate and fat provide energy, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. High oleic sunflower oil provides mainly unsaturated fat, although the chips also contain some saturated fat. Their salt content is worth noting for people monitoring salt intake, and the amount eaten affects total energy intake. Nutrient content can vary between products and flavours.
