Plantain chips offer more vitamins A and C compared to potato chips. Both vitamins help keep your skin healthy and benefit your immune system to keep you free of infection. Vitamin A also plays a role in low-light vision, while vitamin C's antioxidant function protects your tissues from damage. A serving of plantain chips contains 786 international units of vitamin A -- 34 percent of the recommended daily intake for women and 26 percent for men, set by the Institute of Medicine. It also provides 18 milligrams of vitamin C, or roughly one-quarter of the recommended daily intake for women and one-fifth for men. Potato chips contain just 11 milligrams of vitamin C and offer no vitamin A. These plantains come from tropical regions of Central and South America; the same as the banana, the most popular fruit in the USA
