I know they look like bananas, but do they taste similar? I live bananas and they help me get the potassium I need because of the lasix I have to take. Apricots help too. But I'd love to add another fruit to my diet. I'll have to go look up the nutrients in it.

It's high in potassium, vitamins A and C and says it's an energy booster.

WOW! this sounds really delicious. I love banana chips so much but I haven't really tasted plantain chips yet. I wanna try this one day. Hahaha! Here in the Philippines we call it 'saba' and the most common way of eating it is by boiling it ripe on unripe. I love eating boiled ripe plantains but the best way to prepare the fruit here in the country is by frying it. Frying is best when plantains are ripe. It doesn't taste good if you fry it unripe. You can slice a plantain in two and or four thin slices and then dip it in beaten egg and flour before fyring the ripe ones. It's basically treated like potatoes here. I'm sure in other tropical countries it's considered their staple food. Others are grilling it and then they put butter on it and sprinkle sugar after grilling. It tastes good too! :)

The are so delicious aren't they. I had to stop buying them because I felt I was becoming addicted to them. To much of a good thing is not always good for you. I decided to stay away from them for awhile. Plus they are so expensive by me. At 3.99 a bag I will wait till they are on sale. I rather have tortilla chips with homemade salsa at half the cost.

plantain is look like a banana but not banana. plantain is in the banana family. you can buy from amazon or supermarket to buy that plantain.
it's much more healthy than potato or other kind of chips. if you interesting, i can give you a link which one is good and cheaper.
i used to eat that with anykind of food, its good and healthy.
