Title: It’s a Colorful World…of Snacks! Origins and Popularity Revealed: Blue Tortilla Chips

Tortilla chips—they’re famous, triangular, and oh-so-amazing for dipping. When you sit there and think about it, it’s no wonder why they’re a go-to snack for most people. But what happens when you turn its iconic yellow color on its head?

Well, people definitely start talking. Imagine walking through the grocery store. You’re in the chip aisle and pretty overwhelmed with your options. Like many, you opt for tortilla chips, and you find out…they’re blue now?

“I don’t get it,” says a shopper with raised eyebrows, “is it a new flavor? A different crunch? What’s so different, and why should I buy it?”

The answer is surprisingly simple: blue corn. That’s it! Native Americans in North and Central America have grown this maize for centuries. The anthocyanin in the corn gives it this mysterious, royal hue that certainly lights up a party table. Add some antioxidants, proteins, fiber, and anti-inflammatories, and you’ve got a healthier, more robust tortilla chip.

But does it taste different? Some aficionados swear these darker chips have a nuanced, nutty flavor you just don’t get with the usual yellow. Others? The health benefits were improved, but the taste is the same.

So where do you stand? Next time you search for that salty crisp you crave, maybe you’ll play for team blue.
