'''Banana chips''' (sometimes called '''banana crisps'''), with origins in [[Kerala]], India and [[Indonesia]] are dried, generally crispy slices of [[banana]]s (fruits of [[herbaceous plant]]s of the [[genus]] ''[[Musa (genus)|Musa]]'' of the soft, sweet "dessert banana" variety). They can be covered with [[sugar]] or [[honey]] and have a sweet taste, or are more commonly fried in oil and spices and have a salty or spicy taste.<ref>{{cite web|last=Food processing|first=EPa|title=How to Make Sweet and Salted Banana Chips|url=http://www.mixph.com/2006/09/how-to-make-sweet-and-salted-banana-chips.html|access-date=16 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111228190442/http://www.mixph.com/2006/09/how-to-make-sweet-and-salted-banana-chips.html|archive-date=28 December 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> <br />
Banana chips are similar to [[chifle]], usually made from firmer, starchier fruit varieties of the genus ''Musa'' commercially called [[Plantain (cooking)|plantain]]s or "cooking bananas".<br />
<br />
==Fried==<br />
[[File:Banana Chips preparation.jpg|thumb|Banana chips being prepared by [[deep frying]]]]<br />
Fried banana chips are usually produced from under-ripe banana slices [[deep frying|deep-fried]] in [[sunflower oil]] or [[coconut oil]]. These chips are dry (like potato chips), contain about 4% water (table), and can be salted, spiced, sugar coated or jaggery coated. Sometimes [[Isoamyl acetate|banana flavoring]] is added. If ripe bananas are used, they come out oily. They are used for desserts, not for dry chips.<br />
<br />
==Dried==<br />
Some varieties of banana chips can be produced using only [[food dehydration]]. Banana slices that are only dehydrated are not dark yellow and crunchy, but rather are brown, leathery and chewy. They are very sweet and have an intense banana flavor. These are ideally made from bananas that are fully ripe. Another kind is made by baking in an oven, although this process may not result in the same intense banana flavor.<br />
<br />
==Nutrition==<br />
Dried banana chips are 4% water, 58% [[carbohydrate]]s, 34% [[fat]], and 2% [[protein]]. In a 100 gram reference amount, dried banana chips supply 520 [[calorie]]s and are a rich source (20% or more the [[Daily Value]], DV) of [[magnesium]] (21% DV) and [[vitamin B6]] (20% DV), with moderate amounts of [[iron]], [[copper]], and [[potassium]] (10% to 11% DV) (table). Other [[micronutrient]]s are in negligible amounts of the Daily Value (see nutrition table).<br />
<br />
==Uses and variations==<br />
<br />
===India===<br />
[[Fried plantain]] chips, known as ''nenthra-kaaya oopperi'' or ''vazhaykka upperi'' or ''upperi'' in [[Kerala]], are fried in [[coconut oil]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/magazine/the-taste-of-kerala/article4605855.ece |title=Banana Chips from Kerala, india|publisher=The Hindu |access-date=2013-04-13}}</ref> Both ripe and unripe plantains are used for this type of chip preparation. The chips may be coated with [[spice mix|masala]] or [[jaggery]] to form spicy and sweet variations. Plain banana and plantain chips are called ''pachkkaya varuthathu'' and ''kaya upperi'', respectively; sweet jaggery-banana chips are called ''sharkara upperi'' or ''sharkkara varatty''. Sharkara varatty is more expensive than upperi. It is an integral part of the traditional Kerala meal called [[sadya]] served during weddings and festivals, such as [[Onam]].<br />
<br />
===Indonesia===<br />
[[File:Keripik pisang Lampung.JPG|thumb|right|Indonesian ''[[kripik]] pisang'' (banana chips)]]<br />
Banana is a native plant of [[Maritime Southeast Asia]] and the people of the archipelago has developed many uses of it for ages, including as a snack. In [[Indonesian cuisine|Indonesia]], banana chip is called ''kripik pisang'', and is considered as a variant of crispy ''[[kripik]]'' (traditional chip or crisp). ''Kripik pisang'' is a popular crispy snack and can be commonly found in Indonesia, although it seems to be more prevalent in Java and Sumatra. <br />
<br />
Usually unripe green bananas are thinly sliced, soaked in lime and salt water solution, and being deep fried as chips.<ref>{{cite web | title = banana chips (keripik pisang) | work = Indonesian original recipe | url = http://indonesiaoriginalrecipes.blogspot.co.id/2013/11/banana-chips-keripik-pisang.html}}</ref> Unripe banana is well suited for [[deep frying]] due to its low content of water and sugar, while having high starch content. ''[[Pisang goreng]]'' is another fried banana snack, although it is not thinly sliced and serves as a sweet hot snack.<br />
<br />
===Americas===<br />
The chips are often part of [[muesli]] and [[nut (fruit)|nut]] mixes. Other chips, such as [[patacones]], are [[salt]]y.<br />
Similar chips called [[chifle]] are made from [[Plantain (cooking)|plantain]]s, the family of fruit that bananas come from. In tropical American cultures, all bananas are considered plantains, but not all plantains are bananas. These deep-fried plantain chips are also quite popular in the southeastern part of Mexico, especially in the state of [[Tabasco]].<br />
