Banana Joe our best banana chips

Our Bananas

Our banana chips are handmade, using bananas handpicked from farms we cooperate with. We ensure correct ripeness for added crunch, and cook the bananas gently to allow the flavors to remain intact.

The secret to our banana chips? We learned to pick the finest bananas. Our "hom thong" bananas, otherwise known as the golden fragrant bananas, are the original "Gros Michel" variety. Yes they still exist if you search hard enough !

Although "hom thong" bananas are more difficult to source, we chose them because they taste better than any other variety of bananas. You can see the difference by the unique golden color and taste the difference by the fragrance of Banana JoeⓇ chips.

Our Values

To eat is to enjoy. So we thought how can we make it fun and provide a better option? We figured why not eat some fruit and why not make it taste good! Lucky for us creating the best tasting chips coincided with using the best ingredients.

Hickory BBQ Flavour The Judges notes were: “Lovely even bake to these crisps. Crisp but not oily. A crunchy bite, dissolving to a powdery paste in the mouth; the seasoning is sweet and tangy - a little smokey hint comes through.”
