Short Description

Lam's Sweet Plantain Chips are made from ripe yellow plantains (maduros) cut into long strips and fried until crisp. Ripe plantain is naturally sweeter than green plantain, so these chips taste sweet and caramel-like with a light crunch. Each 2.1 oz bag is made in Costa Rica.

Sweet vs. Regular Plantain Chips

Regular plantain chips use green plantains and taste starchy and salty, like a potato chip. Sweet plantain chips use ripe plantains, the same fruit used for fried maduros, so they are softer in flavor and sweeter. If you like the salty kind, try Lam's Plantain Chips (long cut). For heat, try La Fe Spicy Hot Plantain Chips.
