Summary
This product is made from plantains, high oleic sunflower oil, and sea salt, which are relatively simple and clean ingredients. However, the use of high oleic sunflower oil, a type of seed oil, introduces a moderate level of processing. While the ingredient list is short and lacks artificial additives, the processing level limits its healthiness compared to less processed alternatives.
