How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To maintain their crispness, store any remaining chips in their original packaging, ensuring the bag is sealed tightly. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing them in humid environments, as this can lead to staleness and loss of crunch.
