Helpful hints

  • Lumpia wrappers are a thin pastry made from flour or cornstarch, eggs and water. Look for them at any Asian grocery store. If unavailable, substitute egg roll wrappers.
  • Plantains can be substituted for the bananas if a potassium-restricted diet is not required.
  • Limit to only one portion to keep potassium in control if you are restricting potassium. Each turon contains 1/3 of a medium-sized banana which has 140 mg potassium.
