A method for producing a chip comprising:
- mixing with a cyclonic action approximately 60-70% pineapple with approximately 40-70% non-pineapple fruit and/or vegetable until becoming a foam, the foam having at least 90% less density by volume than the pineapple and non-pineapple, the pineapple including approximately 20% core and 80% non-core and 0% skin;
- pouring the foam into molds, each mold including no more than 15 millimeters of foam;
- and
- dehydrating the foam in the molds until forming crispy chips, the crispy chips being formed when each of the following occurs:
