Alexia Foods strives to create side dishes of the highest quality. Alex, a Manhattan chef, always wondered why there weren’t quality side dishes that were at the same standard as the main entree. He believed that he could create a distinctive everyday side dish that lived up to what he might create in his own Greenpoint kitchen.
I has the opportunity to try the Alexia Crinkle Cut Sweet Potato Fries with Sea Salt and Pepper and also the Alexia Whole Grain Artisan Breads. Yum!

The Alexia Crinkle Cut Sweet Potato Fries are crisp and have the great taste of being gently seasoned with salt and pepper. I have had Ore Ida Sweet Potato Fries in the past that are not seasoned so they have a bit less sodium than Alexia, but then most consumers probably add the salt after baking the unseasoned variety. I think the crinkle cut texture is crispier than the straight cut fries by Ore Ida. The nutritional value was very similar to Ore Ida’s fries with the exception of a bit higher sodium due to the seasoning with salt.

The Alexia Whole Wheat Artisan Breads were very firm when taken out the freezer, but were amazingly soft after being baked. The texture was very smooth for whole wheat, not at all grainy. There were flecks of sunflower seeds to give it a very rare crunch. The breads looked a bit like a baked potato, but had an awesome flavor and texture. They were quick and easy to prepare. It was nice to just grab the bag from the freezer and have a nutritious addition to a hearty meal. Sorry I do not have a personal photo to justify this product. This bread has flax seeds, soy, and sunflower seeds.
If you are interested in trying a unique addition to the Alexia Foods line, try Alexia Sweet Potato Crispy Bite Sized Puffs. Don’t they look good?
Crispy outside. Soft inside. Sweet all around. It’s the next deliciously logical step for the great sweet potato.
