Raw Chips

Raw chips are dried, uncooked snack chips that are prepared at home, usually by frying them briefly in hot oil until they puff up and turn crisp. Many families like to make them fresh in small batches, serving them as a snack on their own, alongside nuts and seeds, or with dips and gatherings. They are sold by the kilo, so you can take just the amount you need. You can find raw chips in the nuts section at Dekenet Al Nes in Baaqline, in the Chouf. Dekenet Al Nes is a package-free grocery store and a solidarity initiative that aims to offer basic goods at affordable prices while reducing waste. Customers are encouraged to bring their own containers or bags and refill them, cutting down on plastic and single-use packaging.
