How it differs from similar foods
Unlike potato chips, which are made from tubers, these chips are derived from plantains, a type of banana. This fundamental difference in the base ingredient results in a subtly sweeter taste and a slightly denser, chewier texture when compared to the often lighter crisp of potato chips. The natural starchiness of the plantain also contributes to their unique flavor.
