Frito Lay is releasing a new version of its popular Tostitos tortilla chips: Multigrain Tostitos. The new chips are made with four whole grains, including corn, oat, buckwheat and wheat, contain no trans fats and little saturated fat. When compared to the classic Restaurant Style Tostitos, which are made with whole, white corn, the Multigrain have 65mg of potassium and more dietary fiber, though they actually contain slightly less calcium. The fat and calorie counts are very similar.

A nuttier, multigrain taste will probably enable the new chips to compete with crackers as a dipable snack food, good for things like cheese spreads and hummus. The regular corn tortilla chips will still be tops for salsa, though, since there isn't enough nutritional benefit to be gained from making a switch to give up that classic taste.

Awesome! Just like tortilla chips (which I can eat because they are corn), but inedible to me (because I am gluten intolerant).

However, the idea of them is really good, and they probably taste interesing and match well with cheese. Sigh.

I work at a Grocery store & so far have only been able to find these at my local Super Wal-mart. They are really good. They remind me of wheat thins & are excellent with salsa!
