When used as a salad topping, sprinkle them generously over your favorite greens for a delightful crunch. For soups, they can be added just before serving to maintain their crispness, providing a pleasant contrast to the warm liquid. They also work well layered in dips, offering a textural element that enhances the overall eating experience. As a standalone snack, they are a simple and satisfying option for any time of day. Their shape makes them easy to handle and enjoy.
