The Filipino dessert spring roll made with thinly sliced bananas is turon.
Turon is a Philippine snack made by wrapping sliced saba or cardaba bananas in a thin spring-roll wrapper. The roll is fried until crisp, while brown sugar caramelizes on the outside. Jackfruit, called langka, is a particularly common additional filling.
It is usually eaten as merienda, the Filipino tradition of between-meal snacking, but it is also served as dessert. Street vendors commonly sell it alongside banana cue, camote cue, and maruya. The contrast between the crisp wrapper, chewy banana, and sticky caramel is central to its appeal.
Turon is sometimes confused with Spanish turrón, an almond-based nougat confection. Despite the similar spelling and a Spanish-derived name, the two foods are unrelated in ingredients and preparation. In Malabon, “turon” can also refer to a sweet mung-bean-filled lumpia, while the banana version may be called valencia.
