Banana chips

[Ganous]

can diabetics eat banana chips? As per Google 100 gms of banana chips contains 58 gm of carbs and 7.7 fiber. Does high fiber entail it is ok to eat?

Why Banana chips?

This is what I found in Google "Made from both unripe and ripe bananas, they are calorie ridden and are not to be a feature of your diabetic diet. Banana chips are often salted, or coated with masala or jaggery. With ingredients like salt, and jaggery, this deep fry should be avoided by people with diabetes"

One can fry green banana at home or make curry, or simply boil to get the benefits?

Take care.

my opinion is no, 58 graams of carbs are high ,plus bananas are sweet as a diabetic on low carb diet not allowed bananas of any kind, only allowed 30. Carbs a day

If you make your own banana chips with a dehydrater using green bananas you miss out on the sugar, they taste nice (not sweet) and are full of "resistant starch", which you can not digest but you gut biome can. A sign that the banana is still full of the resistant starch that hasn't yet been converted to sugar is the banana will be hard to peel and you will notice your hands getting very sticky.
