Density 37 · -7 vs Snacks medianPlain bagel chips score 37 of 100, the Low band, ranking 42 of 60 in Snacks, just under the category median of 44. They post an excellent 28% DV for iron and 25% DV for protein, with dietary fiber adding a good 15% DV, unusually strong marks for a baked snack chip.
Bagel chips are thin, twice-baked slices of bagel, crisped until crunchy and eaten plain or with dips like hummus or spinach dip. An ounce (28 g) is a typical snack portion, but per 100 g they carry 6.8 g of saturated fat, worth watching if paired with a rich dip; crisped rice bars, which rank higher in the same Snacks category, are a lighter-fat alternative.

In the kitchen and how to use it
Bagel chips are thin slices of bagel dried or toasted until sturdy and crisp, with the plain variety keeping a simple wheat flavor that works as a base for other flavors rather than competing with them. They are usually eaten alongside dips like hummus, spinach dip, or a cheese spread, standing up to thick dips the way a sturdy cracker would without snapping, and are sold by the ounce in resealable bags for snacking straight from the bag or arranged on a cheese board. Their firm bite also holds up well as a base for a quick open-faced snack topped with cheese or smoked fish.
Keep bags sealed and store them in the pantry; once opened, close them tightly with a clip or move the chips to an airtight container, since humid storage softens their crunch within a day or two. Per 100 g they deliver 451 calories along with 28% DV iron, 25% DV protein, and 15% DV fiber, figures that make them a sturdier, higher-protein option than a typical potato-style chip for scooping up a dip, though their sodium runs to 233 mg and fat to 15.1 g per 100 g as well, worth noting for anyone snacking straight through the bag.
