Plantain
When it comes to plantains, there are many different ways to prepare them. Whether you fry them, bake them, or even eat them raw, plantains are a versatile and delicious fruit.
plantains have been grown in the tropical regions of the world for centuries and were first brought to the Americas by the Spanish in the 16th century. Plantains are a member of the banana family, but are larger and have a higher starch content than regular bananas.
There are two main types of plantains – the green, unripe plantains and the yellow or black, ripe plantains. Green plantains are firm and starchy, while ripe plantains are softer and sweeter. Ripe plantains can be eaten raw, while green plantains need to be cooked before eating.
