Now I'm not even sure what a Cassava is but I am assuming it is in the root vegetable group with potatos and carrots. I'm also not too sure about the type of crisp a cassava can produce however I would say these particular crisps dont quite have the crunch and crumble of a potato chip. Perhaps the cassava is a denser brother of the more popular potato. In saying that, of all the cassava chips I have come across, none of them are in foil packaging. And we all know foil packaging unequivically locks in the freshness. So it could be that from factory to shelf the freshness is comprimised in the plastic packaging, leaving us with a slightly stale crisp. Of course of this is mere theory and I may be completely wrong. In any event, I do quite enjoy this fried root vegetable cousin. The pack in the this review is Cofresh Chilli Cassava Chips and let me tell you, they pack a punch. One of the hottest crisps I have tried. Only a few crisps in and there is a gentle burn on the tongue. Some sloppy handling and you could have flaming lips! Not for the faint of heart or the chilli novice. Being an avid spicy crisp eater myself, I enjoy this heat. A few hand fulls and you have a properly burning mouth, saliva glands going like dogs to freshly marked power pole! Cofresh definitely have their neich in the crisp world and I urge and CHALLENGE you to try them. They do also have a milder chilli lemon flavour but dont wimp out!
