Mariangeles:
No, but I don't lack plantain all year round.
Even if it's scarce.

Mariangeles:
With the amount of chips I got with just three plantains, I'd say it's worth it to make your own plantain chips when you feel like having some, or just keeping for snacking.

So, would you make your own plantain chips, or would you rather buy?

Babajide Alloy, a consultant with the federal ministry of environment, says some food vendors are using polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs) to fry “akara” (bean cake), plantain chips, chicken and other food items.

PCBs, otherwise known as transformer oil, are widely used in electrical equipment.

According to NAN, Alloy said the federal government is working towards prosecuting those who use PCBs for cooking.

He said the consumption exposes the public to cancer of the lungs, heart, kidney and liver diseases.

“For a long time, PCBs was the cooling liquid used in electricity transformers, until the world found out that this oil was toxic, and is trying to phase it out,” Alloy said on Tuesday.

“Jail term awaits those caught using PCBs to fry akara, chicken and plantain chips at the roadside to sell to the public because the oil is toxic and carcinogenic.

“We found out that it is all over the place in Nigeria, dump sites, and in old National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) compounds.

“Some food vendors now mix PCBs with groundnut oil to fry akara and sell to the general public.

“Of course, they may not know how hazardous what they are doing is. This exercise is to sensitise policymakers and everyone about this malaise.

“It is important to note that spillage of PCBs is always a danger when equipment is to be transported; it should, therefore, be transported only in sealed containers.”

I don't like stress, I will just buy. It's a way of encouraging small scale businesses businesses

ugodson:
Meee? I can kill people for you while you pay me in fried plantain

PotatoSalad:
Never buy plantain chips outside. Some people add plastic bags in the oil while frying to give it that "crunchiness". It's more common than you think.

Checkwell:
So what do we make out of this? Is it something new? Is it even newsworthy?

femi4:
I will

Never drive a car. ...some people get killed by it

Mariangeles:
Those who don't like plantain have no plan to attain.

Mariangeles:
If you want those Ore sweet tasting plantain chips, use slightly ripe plantains.

Pootle:
next time sprinkle some grinded pepper before frying, it makes it spicy and add more flavour
