Crunchy Upcycled Plantain Snacks

The Barnana Plantain Chips are Fried in Coconut Oil

— February 10, 2018 — Lifestyle
The Barnana Plantain Chips have been unveiled by the brand as a new lineup of snacks that are crafted from upcycled plantains to make the most of what might otherwise go to waste. The snacks are fried in organic coconut oil to increase the nutritional benefit of the product, while also boasting a USDA Organic certification, vegan profile, Paleo recipe and a Project Non-GMO verified approval.

The chips come in three flavor options including 'Acapulco Lime,' 'Himalayan Pink Sea Salt' and 'Sea Salt & Vinegar (with Apple Cider)' to offer a flavorful option for all.

Speaking on the new Barnana Plantain Chips, CEO Caue Suplicy said, "This is a very exciting time in our company's history. We have made an item that is truly unique in its form factor, packaging and its next level of deliciousness. These plantain chips are going to disrupt one of the biggest snacking categories."
