Overall rating: 3.5/5
Summary: super sweet. I actually was surprised about just how naturally sweet these chips are. They're very lightly salted and nice and crunchy. The nutritional profile is just okay, but the chips are tasty enough to offset close to empty calories. Still I prefer Turbana's Plantain Chips (reviewed here).
Where to buy: Caribbean countries :) or buy online from Sampars

Well, I'd be more confident of the ingredients if the offiicial website mentioned something of the GMO status. I am glad that the ingredients are minimal. The nutritional profile is just okay. For 70 calories, there's less than 1g of fiber and protein. The benefit is the 7% vitamin C and the yummyness. I likely wouldn't buy this again though, because I also recently tried Turbana's Plantain Chips (Lightly Salted), which I prefer...not only the taste and texture, but also the brand itself, which is more aligned with corporate social responsibility.
