Here is a question worth sitting with: when was the last time a chip added anything to your day besides the crunch? Chips are usually a pure pleasure purchase, nutritionally speaking. Quinoa changes that maths slightly.
What makes quinoa different
Quinoa is unusual among grains because it carries a meaningful amount of protein, which is not something you can say about most chip bases. It also brings fibre. None of this makes a chip into a health food, but it does mean the snack is contributing something rather than nothing.
Why pudina and not something louder
Quinoa has a clean, mild, slightly nutty base. You could bury that under a heavy masala, but it would be a waste. Pudina (mint) goes the other direction: it keeps the whole thing light and cooling, which is exactly why this is the chip you can keep eating without your palate giving up halfway through the pack.
The palate fatigue problem
Most spiced chips are fantastic for the first ten and tiring by the thirtieth. That is flavour fatigue, and it happens when a snack leans hard on one intense note. Mint does not do that. It resets rather than accumulates, which is a genuinely underrated quality in a snack you are going to eat by the handful.

Frequently asked
Are quinoa chips actually high in protein?
Quinoa carries more protein than most common chip bases. Check the nutrition panel on the pack for the exact figures per serving.

No. Pudina is cooling and mild rather than hot. If you want heat, the beetroot peri peri is the one to reach for.
Are they fried?
No, baked. No palm oil.
