Turon (food)
Sweet dish from Filipino cuisine
Turon (Tagalog pronunciation: [tuˈɾɔn]; also known as lumpiang saging (Filipino for "banana lumpia") or sagimis in dialectal Tagalog, is a Philippine snack made of thinly sliced bananas (preferably saba or Cardaba bananas), rolled in a spring roll wrapper, fried till the wrapper is crisp and coated with caramelized brown sugar.[1] Turon can also include other fillings. Most common is jackfruit (langka), but there are also recipes with sweet potato (kamote), mango (mangga), cheddar cheese and coconut (niyog).
Turon, though etymologically Spanish in origin, bears no similarities to the Spanish candy turrón (an almond nougat confection).[2]
It is a crunchy and chewy snack most commonly consumed during merienda or for dessert.[3]
It is also a popular street food,[4] usually sold with banana cue,[5] camote cue, and maruya.[6]
