Description

Crispy dehydrated plantain is an ingredient made from thin slices of plantain that have been dried to remove their moisture, resulting in a crunchy and sweet snack or complement. This product retains the natural flavor of the plantain, but with a light and crispy texture that makes it ideal for adding to both sweet and savory recipes, such as salads, cereals, desserts, or as a snack.

The plantain is native to the tropical regions of Asia and Africa and was introduced to Latin America during the colonial era, where it has become a staple in daily nutrition. The dehydration process helps preserve the plantain for longer, concentrating its natural sugars and facilitating its transport and storage.

Regarding its properties, dehydrated plantain is a significant source of complex carbohydrates, potassium, and dietary fiber, in addition to providing B vitamins and antioxidants. Since it contains no additives in its natural form, it is a healthy option for adding energy and flavor to various dishes.

In Hispanic America, this ingredient is also known as dehydrated fried plantain, plantain chips, dehydrated tostones, or simply crispy plantain, depending on the country and the preparation method.
