Two distinctive snacks hail from South Carolina - and are easy for anyone to enjoy.
So let’s wander to South Carolina and see what the pantry holds.

Flour based and available in a variety of flavors, it was at the insistence of her family and friends, addicted to the original sesame taste, that lead Jane Burns to partner with Harriett Kinard and begin Lotus Chips, LLC.
Savor the flavors, five in all, from the sweetness of cinammon sugar to the zesty flair of rosemary and balsamic vinegar. Tomato basil and Tropical (pineappke and cream cheese) round out the line-up.
A scant 8 years later – the distinctly packaged chips can be found in many specialty markets nation-wide.

You can find his products at area Harris Teeters and Piggly Wigglies or via email.
