Could a potato chip be “fried in water”? That is howסיאל פריזdescribes one of the products selected for its 2026 innovation awards: salted potato chips from Swiss brand Nükt.
It’s the kind of claim that invites curiosity—and follow-up questions. What does the process involve? How does the texture compare with conventional chips? And does the different process change the nutritional profile? The award listing alone does not answer those questions.
The product is one of several unusual ideas highlighted ahead of SIAL Paris, which runs October 17–21 at Paris Nord Villepinte. Other selections include ube-coloured goat-cheese bites and a high-protein surimi noodle product. Which one would you try first?
