Turbana Green Banana Chips

Unlike the garlic plantain chips made from the sweeter, starchier yellow plantain, these Turbana chips are made from the slightly-bitter green banana. Their appearance, texture, and taste are notably different due to their lack of ripeness. The green bananas are harvested when they are not fully mature, showcasing their bright-green hue and firm skin. They are a blank canvas to take on strong and potent flavors, like the Sriracha spice blend that takes the Colombian love of “all things spicy” to another level. You can consider this snack a truly global experience, with strains of banana being brought to South America from West Africa by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the Thai influence of the Sriracha, and, of course, Colombia’s way of transforming bananas into crispy, portable treats for all to enjoy. We very much feel like a citizen of the world with these chips!
