Plantain (ripe and unripe)

What Are Plantains?

Plantains are starchy fruits similar to bananas, but they are typically larger and used in different culinary dishes. They can be categorized into ripe and unripe varieties, both offering unique flavors and textures.

Ripe Plantains: Sweet and Delicious

Ripe plantains have a golden-yellow color and develop a sweet taste as they mature. They are perfect for frying, baking, or mashing and serve as a great addition to sweet dishes or desserts.

Unripe Plantains: Savory and Satisfying

Unripe plantains, on the other hand, are green and have a firmer texture. These are ideal for savory dishes and can be boiled, fried, or used to make chips. Both ripe and unripe plantains provide a nutritious option in any meal.
