Banana chips, crystallised

Crystallised banana chips are pieces of banana in a dried, sweetened form. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat, with little protein. Per 100g, they contain 60g of carbohydrate, including 22g of sugars, and 31g of fat. Their energy content is 2137 kJ per 100g. These figures describe crystallised banana chips rather than fresh banana.

Carbohydrate and fat both supply energy to the body. The energy and sugar content are relevant for people monitoring their intake, and drying fruit concentrates nutrients into a smaller weight compared with fresh fruit. Banana chips also provide potassium, which supports normal muscle and nerve function. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
