About Unripe plantain chips
Unripe plantain chips are a crunchy snack made from thinly sliced green plantains, traditionally found in Latin American, Caribbean, and West African cuisines. The plantains are peeled, sliced, and deep-fried or oven-baked to achieve their characteristic crisp texture. Unripe plantains are less sweet than ripe ones, providing a starchy base for this savory treat. They are often seasoned with salt and spices for added flavor. From a nutritional perspective, these chips are a source of fiber, potassium, and some vitamins, such as vitamin C and B6, naturally found in plantains. However, the frying process can add significant amounts of fat and calories, which may not align with certain dietary goals. Oven-baked versions offer a healthier alternative. Perfect for snacking or pairing with dips, unripe plantain chips deliver a unique combination of cultural flavor and satisfying crunch.
