Potato chips / crisps
Also called: crisps, chips, kartoffelchips
How Potato chips / crisps affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Use sparingly | Can raise Vata — go easy when Vata runs high. |
| Pitta | Use sparingly | Can raise Pitta — go easy when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Use sparingly | Can raise Kapha — go easy when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Fried, salty and dry all at once — the salt and frying heat Pitta, the oil adds to Kapha, and the dry crunch unsettles Vata.
Cautions
- High Sodium
Practical flag: very high sodium; nightshade tag follows the potato.
