Vegan Snacks -- Wave of the Future?

We went to a dinner party over the weekend, and for hors d'oeuvres, our hostess served Kale Chips. She bought them at a vegan restaurant/store. When I first saw them arranged in a bowl on a lamp table in the living room, the bowl of kale chips looked like it was an artistically arranged centerpiece of silk flower greenery. It didn't look like something one would eat.

However, the kale was delicious. Kale is a crucifer -- a family of plants to which cabbage and Brussel sprouts belong to, among other things. This kale was raw vegan food. I had thought that the kale chips had been deep fried. However the package said that it had been dehydrated at 105 degrees. Other ingredients such as red bell pepper and other natural flavours were added.

The snack was delicious, and I am betting that this is one thing that could go mainstream in the snack world. It is simply delicious and good for you.
