Grain-Free Paleo Snacks With Avocado Oil and Chili Heat
The Chili bag from AshaPops lists eight ingredients: water lily seeds, avocado oil, sea salt, paprika, citric acid, cayenne pepper, jalapeño and onion. It is a paleo-friendly snack, and the seeds are popped, never fried. Cayenne and jalapeño carry the heat, paprika sets the color, and citric acid sharpens the finish.
Spicy snacks in this aisle usually start with cassava flour, chickpea puffs, lentil crisps or a potato chip. AshaPops Chili starts from a seed. That is why the bag is grain-free and legume-free, with no corn, no soy and 0 g of added sugars.
Each 0.5 oz bag in this Multi-Pack is sealed on its own. The panel on that bag reads 60 calories, 2 g of fat, 150 mg of sodium and 1 g of protein, and the bag slips into a lunchbox, a backpack pocket or a gym bag.
How a Spicy Snack Stays Paleo-Friendly
Grains, legumes, dairy and refined sugar are all off a paleo plate. Water lily seeds belong to none of those groups. The seed grows on Euryale ferox, an aquatic plant in the water lily family, and it puffs under dry heat rather than in a fryer. Avocado oil finishes the Chili batch, and canola, sunflower and other seed oils stay out.
