Thanks to the company that produces everyone's favorite Lays chips, it has become possible to purchase packages of completely different weights. Unfortunately, not every volume can be found in our area, since in Russia the most common average volume is 150-170 grams. Packs of this size are most often purchased for watching TV with a large and friendly family, so that there is enough for both adults and children.
Despite the fact that both small and large packs of Lays chips contain useful vitamins and substances, more they contain components that negatively affect the body. In particular, a large presence of salt. However, since this type of food has long taken root among citizens, few can refuse to buy even a small pack of this crunchy delicacy.
Also, a large pack of Lays chips is most common among young people. According to the data, there are several types of pack weights in the world: 30 grams, 60 grams, 80 grams, 100 grams, 140 grams, 160 grams, 180 grams, 200 grams and 500. In Russia, the most common weight of a pack of “Lays” is 140 , 160 and 180 grams. It all depends on which factory produces the packaging.
Also, the weight of a pack of “Lays”, equal to 30 grams, is almost impossible to find in stores. Surely, this volume is too small for use by the majority of the population, therefore, it is not so profitable. The most popular Lays chips can be considered the middle pack. It is ideal for trips to nature, treating guests, decorating dishes for many people at any celebration, and also, the most popular “Lays” medium pack among football fans.
Every time you gather at the stadium during a match, you can notice a large number of people eating crispy chips. They are also a bestseller in cafes that broadcast live sports. In addition, they have long been recognized by society as the most delicious and suitable snack for a foamy drink.
If we talk about small packs of “Lays”, then this is perhaps an excellent volume for those who are overweight, but still cannot refuse a small portion of chips. Also, a small pack of “Lays” is convenient for children who will not be able to overeat them, since the volume is limited. And, therefore, it will not cause as much harm to the body as can be caused by consuming large packs of Lays chips that weigh more.
Probably, many people wondered when buying both a large and a small pack of chips, how many chips are in a pack of “Lays”? If you think about it, it is, of course, quite difficult to make accurate data. But, based on averaged data, some calculations can be made.
For example, on average, a potato weighs 90 grams. Package weight – 85 grams. At first glance, it seems that a bag of this size contains about one potato. However, this is a deceptive feeling. Chips are potatoes that have been dried. There are even some formulas by which you can easily and quickly calculate the number of potatoes spent. Using one of these, it turned out that there are about three and a half potatoes in a pack weighing 85 grams.
So, if you want to count how many chips are in a pack of “Lays”, the most in a simple way will count them, since there is no detailed data about this. Packaging is done by machine, and besides, if there was poor transportation, the product may break, which means that putting together a crispy product from a bag will be quite problematic.
Despite the fact that this delicacy is quite popular, and packs of Lays chips have different weights, it is better not to overuse this product, no matter how tasty it may seem. A wide variety of Lays chips from 30 to 500 grams per pack helps you choose the most suitable packaging for a particular occasion and company. It is a very convenient food that has high calorie content, thanks to which, this is the best option for a long trip, even for one person, even for a large group.
“Lays” chips, regardless of the number of grams in a pack, contain vitamins E and B. But, in addition to useful ones, they also contain quite harmful additives, such as dye, flavor enhancer, flavoring agent, as well as other flavoring additives that are harmful to the human body, causing frequent use obesity, an increase in blood clots, and also worsen metabolism, which has an extremely bad effect on the well-being and general condition of the body.
To eat or not to eat? It's everyone's choice. However, if you still want something salty and crispy, then the best option Of the variety of snack packages offered, this will be the smallest. Then such a quantity of consumed harmful substances will not have a great negative impact on both an adult and a child, whose body, as we know, is just beginning to develop and grow, absorbing both vitamins and minerals and bad impurities.
Today, chips are one of the most popular potato products. Despite all the resistance of nutritionists, everyone eats them: both adults and children. There are several in the world brands, producing potato chips. Among them, the most famous and beloved brand by millions of people is Lays.
The history of Lays chips began in America in 1932. It was then that a young entrepreneur, Herman W. Lay, began selling potato chips in Nashville, Tennessee. But then they were produced under the Gardner's trademark, and only in 1944 the American changed their name to Lays.
The first deliveries of Lay's chips to Russia were organized in the early 90s. Then, as throughout the world, they gained enormous popularity in the domestic market. Later, in 2002, the first plant in Russia for the production of Lays chips was opened. It still operates successfully in the city of Kashira, Moscow region. Another 8 years later, in 2010, a second plant was opened in the city of Azov, Rostov region. The volume of chips they produce is able to fully cover the demand of buyers in the domestic market.
Chips production is complex process, which has its own nuances. Without taking them into account, it will be difficult to get the same product that people all over the world love. The fact is that certain varieties of potatoes are used to make chips. There are 7 of them in total, and only 3 of them are grown in Russia. These potatoes are denser in structure than regular potatoes and contain less starch and sugar. This is why Lays chips do not fall apart when fried, but remain intact and crispy.
The process of producing chips from processing the tubers to obtaining the finished product takes no more than 30 minutes. First, the potatoes coming from the fields are washed in a large drum, then they are peeled and cut into thin slices. Their thickness is no more than 2 mm. After this, the slices go into the deep fryer, where they acquire a special color and crunch. Now the chips need to be thoroughly dried and placed in a drum with aromatic spices. All that remains is to pack the finished product and enjoy your favorite taste. By the way, 1 kg of potatoes yields only 300 g of chips.
There are 3 types of chips produced under the Lays brand, each of which has its own special tastes. Below are their names.
1. Regular (traditional) Lace chips are the same ones with which the production of this potato product began in Russia.
2. Lays Max chips. When cutting them during the production process, special knives with a grooved blade are used. The special shape contributes to better roasting of the chips, making them even crispier and more flavorful.
3. Lays Strong chips. They have a wavy shape, which makes the taste more intense. These are beer chips that are created specifically for lovers of foamy drinks.
Each of the three types has its own range of flavors, which allows each customer to enjoy their favorite potato product.
Regular (traditional) Lace chips are available in the following assortment of flavors:
They are sold in packs of 35, 80, 150 and 200 grams. Interestingly, Lays Green Onion, Bacon, Salt and Cheese chips are produced the same way around the world. At the same time, such types as “Porcini mushrooms with sour cream”, “Slightly salted cucumbers” and “Crab” are produced only in Russian factories.
The Lays Max assortment of chips is presented in the following flavors: “Charcoal Meat”, “Cheese and Onion”, “ Chicken wings B-B-Q". They have an ultra-fluted shape and are especially crispy.
Strong wavy chips, which are produced in Russia, were created specifically as an ideal snack for beer. On the domestic market they are presented in the following flavors: “ King prawn», « Hunter's sausages" and "Jellied meat with horseradish."
It should be noted that in some countries, under the Lays Strong brand, chips with other flavors are produced: “Hot Chili”, “Scorching Piri-Piri”, “Hellish Wasabi”.
Chips with different tastes may differ in composition. But in general they contain the following ingredients: potatoes, palm and sunflower vegetable oils,
It is the last component that carries some danger, since it contains salt, sugar, flavoring agents, flavor and aroma enhancers (monosodium glutamate, sodium guanylate, sodium inosinate), and acidity regulators. Of all the flavors presented, the safest in composition are Lays chips “With Salt”, which are made only from potatoes and vegetable oil with added salt.
The nutritional value of the chips is low. 100 grams contain about 6 g of protein, 30 g of fat and 53 g of carbohydrates. The calorie content of chips is 510-520 kcal per 100 g.
Chips can't be called useful product. And nutritionists completely agree with this. Their chemical composition And nutritional value so meager that this product can confidently be considered useless and even harmful.
Lays' summer collaboration in the new video for the group "Khleb" - has everyone checked it out yet? Shishlyndos from BREAD didn’t really impress me, just like the new Lays Strong with garlic.
Shashlyndos bread, Lace Strong garlic chips
I love delicious chips, I like spicy ones too. It’s even better when these 2 combinations are found in one pack. But THESE chips are more “spicy” than “tasty”, so they didn’t win my love.
So, the autumnal new Lays Strong beer chips "Garlic".
◀◁◀ Description ▷
❤Volume: 75 grams
❤Price: 54 rubles
I thought it would be more expensive because Lays out of the oven with almost the same volume they are significantly more expensive.
❤Place of purchase: Supermarket Pelican
This is the same line of “hot” chips. Have you noticed at all almost Are all the flavors in the Strong line spicy?)
“Jellied meat with horseradish”, “Hot chili”, etc. I don’t know about chili, but I really liked it with jellied meat and horseradish. And garlic, well... just for once.
I can’t say that I’m directly disappointed, I don’t regret the purchase, but I definitely won’t buy it again!
Each of the Lays strong packs has a “spiciness” scale:
The garlic lais shows that the spiciness here is moderate, but I don’t agree. They are much sharper than “Warm up your emotions” and “Jellied horseradish”.
Oh yes, the composition, if it’s important to anyone, can be seen in the photo below, enlarging it. It doesn’t matter to me, it’s a no brainer that there are enough harmful things.
BJU is also quite standard for chips. It is interesting that the manufacturer considers exactly 30 grams of the product as a serving and all indicators are written specifically for this “portion” and not for the entire pack. Keep this in mind.
The pack, as you would expect, is about 30 percent full, no more. Well, empty packs are just that business card leis =DD This is a kind of deception by the manufacturer, making larger packs so that people think that there is a lot of content in there and take their goods.
Although it’s okay, okay, I’m not nitpicking about the point))
I didn’t notice any aroma from the pack at all.
And the chips look beautiful as always: rosy, large and grooved. Same as other Strongs. I love the corrugated ones - they are even more pleasant to eat, but for some reason not in this case...
Very crispy, which is also a plus.
The taste does not develop immediately, or would it be correct to say that it does not develop at all? Called " find garlic in lays chips" - I never found it. Well, the jellied meat with horseradish in the chips had a rich and bright taste, just try it with your eyes closed and you’ll definitely say - well, jellied meat and horseradish))
In other tastes it was also somehow more pronounced. And then you can feel the taste of some kind of seasoning, which disappears after 3 seconds, and the aftertaste remains spicy. Where is she from? What severity is not clear. I ate chili pepper, paprika, real garlic, or maybe mustard - I didn’t notice the difference.
Strong refers more to men's chips. And this is clear not only from the inscription “for beer”. Although I wouldn’t say that all men like it hot. For example, my husband has classic lays with green onions doesn't change at all.
