About Colombia
Colombian cuisine is a melting pot of indigenous, Spanish, and African influences, renowned for its fresh ingredients and hearty flavours. Our Colombia collection features Tropical Sun Salted Plantain Chips (450g), made from ripe plantains sliced thin and fried to golden perfection with just the right amount of sea salt. These chips offer a satisfying crunch that's naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly, delivering the true taste of Colombia's tropical heartlands where plantains are a staple in everyday meals.

Plantain chips are versatile – enjoy them as a healthy snack on their own, or pair with guacamole, ceviche, or a spicy ají sauce for an authentic Colombian twist. They're ideal for movie nights, lunchboxes, or as a side to bandeja paisa, Colombia's iconic platter of meats, beans, rice, and fried eggs. Sourced from quality producers, these chips capture the sunny disposition of Colombian produce, with no artificial additives for pure, wholesome enjoyment.

In Colombia, plantains feature in dishes like patacones (smashed and fried green plantains) or aborrajados (sweet plantains stuffed with cheese). Use our chips as a quick alternative or crumble them over salads for added texture. Store in a cool, dry place to maintain crispness, and once opened, pop them in an airtight container. Whether you're exploring world foods or seeking gluten-free snacks, our Colombian range brings exotic excitement to UK tables effortlessly.
