SAMAI Plantain chips are made from premium quality plantains grown by local farmers on the Pacific coast of South America, in Ecuador. The bananas are naturally ripened, then hand-picked and sorted to select the finest pieces. They are then transported to the processing facility, which is located directly next to the plantations, to ensure the ingredients remain as fresh as possible. Upon arrival at the facility, expert hands sort, peel, and slice them. They are then fried until crispy in pure, non-hydrogenated vegetable oil, preserving the banana’s natural flavor and nutrient-rich profile. Only sea salt and natural spices are used for seasoning. It contains no added sugar, artificial flavor enhancers, flavorings, colorings, or monosodium glutamate (MSG). This guarantees completely natural flavors. The chips are packaged under strictly controlled conditions to preserve the product's freshness and excellent quality. The plantain is a variety of banana consumed boiled, steamed, or fried. Due to its high nutritional content, it is considered a staple food in many coastal areas of South America, Africa, and Asia. Only non-hydrogenated palm oil (palmolein) is used to fry the plantain. This less saturated (more liquid) oil is extracted from the fruit of the oil palm through boiling and pressing. No chemical substances are used during the process. Unlike palm kernel oil and coconut oil, palmolein contains fewer saturated components. Like all vegetable oils, palmolein is cholesterol-free and, as it does not require hydrogenation, it is also trans-fat-free. It is rich in tocopherols and tocotrienols (Vitamin E). Red palm oil is the best natural source of beta-carotene (provitamin A). Palmolein was selected for the preparation of SAMAI products based on the following key factors: The fatty acids in palm oil are perfectly balanced, ensuring that the oil remains stable even at high temperatures. The oil palms grow in the same region, the Ecuadorian tropics, as the other ingredients. This ensures that fresh oil is used while contributing to the development of the local economy. Last but not least, the oil used comes from plantations outside of protected rainforests. The palms cover their environment with green canopies, allowing many plants and living organisms to flourish. With their carbon dioxide absorption, they are more effective at cleaning the air than soybean plantations.
