- Cutting and Peeling
- Slicing
- Frying
- Straining
- Addition of Salt
- Packaging and Weighing
- Sealing
- Storing
Selection
It is recommended to use green bananas of the bellaco variety. Verify that the banana has a firm texture and that the color of the peel is green.
Weighing
This will need to be done on a scale.
Cutting And Peeling
First the ends need to be chopped and the peel is taken off so the bananas are ready to be sliced.
Slicing
Slice the bananas.
Frying
The oil is poured into a medium size pot up to half. Then it is heated to 150 degrees C. The bananas are placed in the metal basket and are then placed in the oil so they can fry between half a minute to one minute. Remember that with each new batch, you will need to remove the residues and he
at the oil again.
Straining
Once the bananas are fried, they need to be removed with the frying basket and strained. They can be strained by placing them over a tray that is covered with absorbing paper.
Adding The Salt
The bananas need to be sprinkled with a 2% amount of salt.
Packaging And Weighing
A good material that can be used to package the chips is cellophane. An even better one but which is pricier is polypropylene. The packaging must have a nice presentation. The chips need to be weighed before the bags are sealed.
Sealing
Before packaging the banana chips, make sure to verify the number of bags and that the sealer works.
Storing
The product will need to be stored in a dry fresh place, protected from the sunlight.
