Plantains are members of the banana family. They are similar in appearance but are more dense and less sweet. Plantains grow naturally in tropical climates. Plantains must be cooked but can be prepared at any stage of ripeness. Plantains are highly nutritious, riche in potassium, fiber and vitamins A & C. Artisan Tropic Sea Salt Plantain Chips are a taste of the tropics. They provide the perfect crunch for a healthy snack or side dish. Because of the long strip cut they have, they are perfect for dipping in guacamole or salsa. And no worries, we use Sea Salt to provide you with more beneficial minerals! That’s what we like to call: Healthy. Snacking. Redefined.
