About Dried plantains

Dried plantains are a versatile snack originating from tropical regions, where plantains are a staple in cuisines like Caribbean, African, and Latin American. Made by dehydrating slices of ripe or unripe plantains, they retain a concentrated sweetness and chewy texture, or when fried before drying, a satisfying crispness. These nutrient-rich fruits are a source of dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals like potassium, which supports heart and muscle health. Their natural sugars provide quick energy, making them ideal for active lifestyles. However, depending on preparation, they may contain added sugar or oil, increasing calorie and fat content. Unsweetened dried plantains are a healthier option compared to processed snacks, but portion control is key to enjoying their benefits without overloading on carbohydrates. Popular as a standalone treat or in trail mixes, dried plantains are a delicious way to experience tropical flavors while fueling your body naturally.
