Grab Em Snacks Plantain Chips is a gourmet chip alternative available in Sea Salt, Black Pepper Spice, Red Chili, Chili Garlic, Jalapeno and Cajun varieties. Made from green plantains that have not yet sweetened instead of the traditional tubers, Grab Em Snacks chips offer the same crunch and basic shape as potato chips with a distinctive look and taste imparted by the plantain seeds in the middle of each chip, the plantain itself, and the color of the spice used to flavor each variety. They’re pan-fried in small batches and slivered so thin that they absorb little corn oil, delivering 8 grams of fat with 1 gram of saturated fat per serving. The plantain origin also packs an extra punch of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and potassium, and the product contains no additives or preservatives. The chips are also gluten-free. The product is bagged in 1/4, 1/2 and 1-pound packages with a suggested retail price of $6.75 to $8.50 for a 1-pound package depending on the flavor. New Grab Em Snacks Plantain Chips combine the banana-like vegetable from India with spices from around the world. This multicultural munchie goes with everything from burgers to Bordeaux. — Grab Em Snacks
