About This Product

Bananas for banana snacks? We’re showing our local love for pisang berangan and turning them into deliciously crispy Vacuum-Fried Banana Chips for your snacking pleasure. Think those savoury-sweet crispy slivers of banana coins sold in big plastic bags at your local snack shop but healthier and you’ve got the idea. Harvested when fully ripe and golden yellow to ensure they’re packed with the optimal level of nutrients and health benefits, the bananas are then peeled and vacuum-fried without any additional sugar or additives.
But why opt for vacuum-fried instead of conventional frying methods? Vacuum-frying uses up to 70% less oil than deep frying as it utilizes low air pressure and temperatures to fry the food instead. Not only does this ensure the food item absorbs less oil, prevents oil degradation and browning of the food item, it also helps to retain the nutritional quality of the fried product. The product gains a crispy texture but retains almost all of its natural colour, taste and smell. The cholesterol content is significantly lowered due to the food not absorbing as much oil as other frying methods and reduces the chance of toxic components forming in the oil, a health issue that has worried many since it became known. The low moisture content and water activity in the food item also helps to increase the product’s shelf life, making it suitable for fruits and vegetables which otherwise may be hard to carry around as snacks.
