Maybe Trader Joe’s uses a concentrated form for their natural flavour (and aroma)? I’m thinking sugar is your best bet for sweetness. cndcaligrlreviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603055997416601498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-33344227950326622872013-04-23T12:42:42.597-04:002013-04-23T12:42:42.597-04:00True, Sherry!True, Sherry!Nathan Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832185227267757941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-2826266739711258042013-04-20T11:20:36.163-04:002013-04-20T11:20:36.163-04:00Really, how could someone never have had a banana ...Really, how could someone never have had a banana chip before? And they really do all taste the same... The only thing that really varies is how sweet they are depending on whether they add extra sugar and if they do, how much.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01820327895967926381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8233184155385734517.post-37309967323595861922013-04-18T17:20:17.378-04:002013-04-18T17:20:17.378-04:00I'm not buyin' that, stevenp.

Not good to have it, even a 1 of 4 ingredients. Problem is, plain dried banana doesn't have that sweet banana taste, thus the sweetener and artificial flavor added. :(stevenphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522753337306943820noreply@blogger.com
