INKA CROPS Tostones are made from plantains grown, harvested, and prepared in the tropical region of Aguaytia, near the Ucayali River in the Amazon rainforest.
Tostones are “homestyle” plantains that are cooked in a unique way. They are twice fried, so they are very crisp, and they are an excellent vehicle for dips; they’re also great right from the bag.
Tostones are the newest products from Inka Crops, and they’re available in 2 flavors: Sea Salted, or Jalapeño (if you like snacks spicy, this is the one for you)!

TOSTONES ARE TWICE-FRIED GREEN PLANTAINS
A staple dish throughout the Caribbean and Latin America, tostones are crisp, flattened plantains that are often served as appetizers and side dishes. Unlike sweet maduros, which are made with very ripe, almost black, yellow plantains, savory tostones are made with unripe green plantains.
Tostones are fried twice: The first fry sears the cut sides of the plantains, establishing a base layer of color; the second fry ensures that every edge is golden and crunchy.
