Now and again we all like a god, crunchy snack. However, if we fancy something like tortilla chips or crisps they tend to be loaded with fat and artificial flavours. These pitta chips are a great snack by yourself or to share. the addition of fresh garlic (instead of all the artificial flavour you get in a packet of crisps) has many health benefits too.
Garlic can help kill off any harmful bacteria in the body, purify the blood and strengthen the immune system (due to it's vitamin C content). It also has a high sulphur content which is essential for the structure of the skin (supporting the collagen).
