The Filipino snack made from a spring-roll wrapper filled with banana and jackfruit, then fried in brown sugar, is turon.
Turon is prepared by wrapping slices of saba banana, often with strips of jackfruit, in a thin lumpia wrapper. The roll is fried while coated with brown sugar, which melts and forms a caramelized coating on the outside.
The snack is widely sold by street vendors and is commonly eaten as a merienda, the Filipino tradition of having a small snack between meals. Saba bananas are preferred because they remain firm during cooking and have a starchy, pleasantly sweet flavor.
Turon is sometimes mistaken for a savory lumpia because both use similar wrappers. Lumpia is a broad category of Filipino spring rolls, while turon specifically refers to the sweet banana-based preparation.
