Trader Joe’s Sweet Plantain Chips,5.3 oz each - 3 Pack

The QuindÃo region of Colombia is part of the so-called "coffee triangle" (TriÃ¡ngulo del CafÃ©), widely considered one of the best places to grow coffee beans. It is less widely considered one of the best places to grow plantains... but this doesn't make that fact any less true. The volcanic soil, altitude, proximity to the equatorial line, and consistent climate make this region an exceptional environment for growing this banana cultivar. Trader Joe's new Sweet Plantain Chips start with plantains grown in this very region. Bunches are harvested by hand to reduce bruising. After harvest, the plantains are allowed extra time to ripen to a sweetness of 24 brix (natural sugar content level), as opposed to only 12 brix-a more typical number for other plantain growers. The profoundly sweet, ripe plantains are also exceedingly soft at this point-almost too soft to cut. Our Colombian supplier carefully peels each plantain by hand, and hand-feeds each one into a cutting machine to further protect the fruit. The sweet plantain slices then take a quick dip in hot palm olein (the liquid part of palm oil), just until perfectly crisp. When your hand reaches into the bag, you'll pull out a handful of crunchy "chips" with a sweetness all their own (absolutely no sugar is added). Trader Joe's brand products contain NO synthetic colors, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, MSG, added trans fats, dairy ingredients from rBST. sources or genetically modified ingredients. Included are three (3) bags of Trader Joe's Sweet Plantain Chips - 5.3oz (150g).
