Trader Joe's Sweet Plantain Chips - 5.3 oz

Same plantain, but this one leans sweet. Trader Joe's ripens Colombian plantains to 24 brix — nearly double the typical 12 — so they're intensely sweet before frying. The fruit gets so soft it's almost too delicate to cut; each is hand-peeled and briefly fried in sunflower oil, delivering deep sweetness with no added sugar.

A caramelized-tasting sweetness with crunch — in the US, many reach for it in place of dessert.

• Instead of dessert — deep sweetness with no added sugar.
• With coffee or tea — an afternoon treat alongside a cup.
• With sweet-savory dips — surprisingly good with peanut butter or cream cheese.
• Over ice cream or yogurt — crushed like a caramel crunch.
• On its own — just the natural sweetness.

This one's a good fit if

• You like sweet snacks
• You look for no-sugar-added treats
• You want a dessert alternative
• You prefer sweet over savory plantain chips

Plantain chips are already rare in Korea; a sweet version ripened to 24 brix with no sugar added is rarer still. As demand grows for natural sweetness without added sugar, it's an uncommon way to enjoy a dessert-worthy sweetness in a simple snack.

Brought in through Trader Joe's Colombian supply chain as a store exclusive, with no official Korean distribution.

Shipping is free on every order, with no minimum. There are no handling fees, no customs processing charges, and no hidden costs added at checkout. What you see is what you pay.

Orders are dispatched within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. A tracking number is sent to your email once your order is on its way.

All orders are processed as personal-use overseas purchases, which means they clear Korean customs without requiring KC certification. Shipments are handled using your Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) for full transparency, and you can track your parcel through the Korea Customs Service UNI-PASS portal at any time.

Orders valued under USD 200 from the United States qualify for duty-free clearance under Korea's simplified customs scheme. In the unlikely event that any order encounters a customs issue, we will issue a full refund without question.

If you do not yet have a Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC), you can get one free of charge in under five minutes at unipass.customs.go.kr.

Is this authentic?

Why can't I buy this in Korea?

Trader Joe's has no official stores or online shop in Korea. Their products are sold only in US stores, which is exactly what we bring to you through direct import.

What about the expiration date?

Because we purchase every item from the US only after you place your order, we ship products with plenty of shelf life remaining. The exact best-by date is printed on the package.
