After that, cut the banana pulp into small squares. Then, peel the skin until it's clean and slice the banana pulp so it's very thin. Well, it is this banana pulp fiber that will be used to make chips.

Next, prepare a container filled with clean water and dissolve the tamarind while filtering it into the water. Yup, tamarind is the main ingredient for processing banana stems that are free of sap and not bitter. After the tamarind has dissolved, soak the sliced banana stem fibers in it for a while. "After that, wash and rinse until clean," said the owner of the TikTok account @mursid241, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (8/29).
