The story of plantain chips begins in West Africa, where plantains have been a dietary staple for centuries. Plantains, a close relative of bananas, were domesticated in this region over 4,000 years ago. They were a crucial source of sustenance, providing a reliable source of carbohydrates and essential nutrients to the people of West Africa. The method of sun-drying plantains to extend their shelf life was developed. As trade routes expanded, so did the culinary influence of West Africa. Plantain chips made their way into the diets of many other cultures, including those in the Caribbean and Central America.

Ecuador, we want to spread the love for the awesome power of plantain, via our sustainably produced plantain chips, while supporting our farmers and their local communities in Ecuador. After meeting and forming a fantastic partnership with local farmers in Portoviejo, Ecuador, we decided, early on, to keep the production of our plantain chips local too, helping to support the local economy and provide employment to the local area. We also discovered and fell in love with a local orphanage, Casa Hogar de Belen, which provides a safe haven for local Ecuadorian children who’ve suffered severe trauma.

History tells us that plantains are indigenous to equator-bordering lands in Southeast Asia. Spanish and African slave traders brought the fruit with them to the Caribbean on slave ships. Plantains proved to be a cheap and filling provision for enslaved men and women. The abundance of plantains and their versatility made them the staple ingredient that they are today. Green plantains can become salty and savory tostones, chips, mashed mangú, a sculptural mofongo, and even add dimension to stews. But how did plantain become the tenth-most staple food in the world, shaping the Caribbean and Latin America along the way?
