Review of 'Soldanza' Banana Chips (Natural)

Soldanza -- Banana Chips (Natural) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: these were a bit too salty for me, but man oh man are they yummy and super crunchy. They're very thinly slices, which enhances that crisp. I really enjoyed these chips!

Where to buy: Caribbean countries :) or buy online from Sampars


Ingredients: bananas, palm olein and/or sunflower and/or canola oil, salt.

Wow...so why is this so very high in fat? I guess it's all that oil, although they didn't really seem all that oily to me. For just 40 very thin chips, 155 calories is high for me. This is especially so since the fiber and protein content isn't too impressive.
