There is a buzz in the healthy snack world about vacuum fried snacks. Unlike fried snacks, these healthy snacks are crispy, delicious, and guilt-free. As you bite into each crunchy bite, you’ll feel invincible, like you can defeat any snack craving.
What is vacuum-frying?
The vacuum-frying process involves frying food under reduced atmospheric pressure, usually in a vacuum chamber. This method allows food to be fried at lower temperatures than traditional frying, preventing oil absorption and preserving nutrients, colour, and flavour. Additionally, lower pressure helps remove moisture from the food, resulting in crunchy and healthy snacks.
Here are the top 5 health benefits of these delicious treats, and why they’re fast becoming everyone’s favourite snack.

It uses less oil, tastes better, and is more nutritional. No calories, just crispy goodness. Whether you eat vacuum-fried beetroot chips or Crispy Corn, you can indulge without feeling guilty. Guilt-free snacking? Yes, please!
- Nutrient powerhouse – Fried snacks are mostly empty calories that taste great but aren’t exactly healthy. The game-changers, however, are vacuum-fried snacks. Vacuum frying takes place at lower temperatures, thus locking in those essential vitamins and minerals. Additionally, it preserves the natural colour and flavour of the product. This snack is both tasty but also nutritious. Talk about a win-win!
- Less acrylamide formation – It may sound like a baddie from a superhero movie, but high-heat cooking forms acrylamide, one of the most commonly found carcinogens in fried foods. The good news?
