About Snacks, corn-based, extruded, chips, unsalted
The corn chip is a crunchy, salty snack made from cornmeal that is fried or baked and cut into small, sturdy pieces, loved for its bold corn flavor and satisfying crunch. Unlike the thinner, softer tortilla chip cut from pressed corn tortillas, the classic corn chip is denser and more brittle, with Fritos the best-known example. Corn chips are calorie-dense and high in fat and sodium, offering a bit of fiber and a little plant protein from the corn.
People eat them straight from the bag, scoop them through dips, pile them into the walking taco known as Frito pie, or crumble them over chili and salads for texture. Their robust structure makes them perfect for heavier toppings that would snap a flimsier chip. Flavored versions add chili, lime, cheese, and barbecue seasoning. To keep them crisp, reseal the bag tightly or clip it shut, since corn chips go stale and lose their snap once air sneaks in.
