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. Each turon contains 1/3 of a medium-sized banana.
