What You Should Know

You'd spot these in the snack aisle or grab them for a picnic, movie night, or to toss into a lunchbox — bright, crunchy, lime-forward plantain chips that feel like a tropical, healthier alternative to potato chips. The vibe is snackable and a bit adventurous: crisp, lightly tangy, and convenient for on-the-go moments. Ingredients like tapioca maltodextrin and concentrated flavorings, plus industrial frying and packaging, signal processing that creates the crisp texture, intense flavor, and shelf stability typical of highly processed snacks.
