Turon

(Banana Lumpia, Turrón de Banana, Turrón de Plátano, Lumpiyang Saging )

Falling in the group of popular lumpia snacks, turon is the famous Filipino treat made with saba plantains and jackfruit. The fruit is sliced lengthwise, dusted in brown sugar, enclosed in thin wheat wrappers, then fried until golden and crispy.


Like other lumpia varieties, turon was also developed from the Chinese spring rolls and represents one of the most common sweet versions of the dish. Before it is served, it is commonly drizzled with caramel or sprinkled with roasted sesame seeds.


It is usually sold by Filipino street vendors and enjoyed as a sweet snack or a satisfying dessert.
