Plantain Tostones, 5 OZ
What You Should Know
You'd find this 5 oz bag of Whole Foods Market Plantain Tostones in the snack aisle or the ethnic/Latin foods section and pull it out for movie nights, picnics, or as a crunchy side to sandwiches. It reads nostalgic and indulgent — a simple fried plantain chip that feels like a slightly healthier alternative to potato chips. The very short ingredient list (plantain, expeller-pressed sunflower oil, sea salt) points to frying and packaging with minimal additives, so expect a crisp fried texture rather than an industrially reformulated product.
