Too Yumm Potato Chips Review – We Tried 5 Variants

Too Yumm, a brand well-known for its diverse range of snacks introduced its new potato chips product line. It offers 5 flavors, including – Indian Masala, Classic Salted, Spanish Tomato, American Style Cream & Onion, and Kashmiri Chilli. 

The brand claims that these contain 40% less saturated fat when compared to other potato chips. We tested all the variants to gauge their taste, texture, and nutritional label. Are these worth a purchase? 

Let’s decode everything in our Too Yumm Potato Chips review.

Here is a comparison table of all the 5 variants reviewed : 

What are we looking for? We expect crunchy chips with a fresh taste that are true to their flavor tags.

For a detailed review of each variant of Too Yumm Chips, we have listed the following set of parameters : 

1. Taste/Flavor

We checked for the level of salt, spiciness (if applicable), and the overall flavor. Any prominent taste of oil? Are these addictive, or did we stop after a single bite? 

2. Texture

We also check here whether the chips feel oily or greasy. A prominent crunch signifies that the chips are well fried, packed, and stored.  

3. Main Ingredients

As mentioned on the pack, these chips contain 40% less saturated fat, as compared to other potato chips. Unlike other brands, Too Yumm Potato chips contain rice bran oil. Hence, we closely examine the list of ingredients and nutrition labels. We also check for the use of any preservatives, stabilizers, or additives. 

Potato chips made using palmolein oil tend to have a higher saturated fat. Whereas, chips made using rice bran oil contain a higher proportion of unsaturated fat, making them slightly healthier. 

The brand claims that these chips contain 40% less saturated fat. As per the pack, potato chips fried in palmolein oil contains 14 gm saturated fat. While those fried in rice bran oil contain 8 gm saturated fat. Too Yumm has used rice bran oil in all the 5 flavors. 

4. Other Observations 

Appearance 

Who loves a bag of broken chips? The shape and size of the chips can help enhance the overall experience. How appealing do these chips look? Did we observe too many brown edges? 

Many times potatoes might undergo rough handling which leads to the formation of bruises on the surface. This eventually turns the starches into sugar. Though the sugar is invisible in raw potato, these turn brown when the potato gets fried. 

Packaging  & Price 

Is the packaging resealable? How competitive is the pricing? Does it offer a value for money deal? 

Shelf Life

For how long are these chips ideal for consumption?

These multigrain chips from Too Yumm are yum.

Before proceeding with the detail review of all the variants here are a few common points to note :

Sweet and tangy! We liked the flavor of this variant better than the rest. These are well-seasoned chips with a sweet and tangy aftertaste. The subtle sweetness deliciously cuts down the tanginess.

Flavor and texture

With well-balanced seasoning, these chips have a lovely flavor of onion. The flavor of cheese and onion is quite prominent here. The seasonings and the parsley blend deliciously. 

We feel the sweetness is a bit overwhelming, as that is the first thing that we could taste. These chips fail to strike a balance between sweet and savory.

Super crunchy! We loved the crispness of this variant.

Flavor & Texture 

Indian masala is a blend of different spices, including coriander, cumin, turmeric, red chilli, and chaat masala. But that was not the case we experienced here. These have a spicy, salty and tangy flavor.

In terms of the overall taste, these chips lack the wow-factor. Although we liked the cumin-coriander flavor, it lacks the prominent spicy-tangy hit we expect from a bag of chips labeled as ‘Indian Masala’. As we consumed a little more chips, we could taste an unpleasant oily flavor. 

Though these are not soggy, the crunch could have been better.

This variant has an orange color pack. Kashmiri red chilli is said to impart a vibrant red color to dishes, however, these chips are orange in color. The oily aroma on opening the pack was a letdown.

Flavor and texture

Kashmiri Chilli is known for lending a vibrant red color without making the dish too spicy. Hence, we expected these chips to have a mild flavor of chilli. In our first bite, the spiciness was medium and tolerable. However, post that, we felt the sharp heat of chilli on the tongue. Sadly, the variant is not justifying the labels.

Spot on! The crunch and crispness are well maintained here.

Here are some interesting FAQs on Too Yumm Chips.

We liked the Spanish Tomato flavor better than the other variants. These are well-seasoned, non-oily and showcase a lovely sweet & tangy flavor. We also recommend trying American Style Cream & Onion flavor for its crunchy texture. 

What did not work? The Indian Masala and Kashmiri Chilli chips could have been better taste wise. But texture wise no doubt these were crunchy. Lastly, the Classic Salted variant was a complete letdown due to excessive salt.
