Samai Jungle Root Crisps Sweet Chili
Taste test: This bag combined cassava chips (a vegetable we're quite familiar with) and tannia chips (a new one to us) with a mild chili seasoning.
Similar snacks
We crunched in to several chips to find that the seasoning was sufficiently intense that the two kinds didn't taste all that different, though the textures were different. The cassava chips (also known as yuca) had a harder crunch, and they were cut thicker than most cassava chips we've tried, while the tannia chips were soft to bite into. The variety of textures was nice, and they were both tasty.
