Plantains
Plantain is a type of fruit that is closely related to bananas. They are usually longer, wider and thicker than bananas. Plantain is a versatile fruit that can be used in many dishes. Rich in fibre and nutrients, they are an excellent source of vitamin A, C, and B complexes and minerals such as potassium and magnesium. Comes in bunches of 6.
Plantains are the less sweet, starchier equivalent to the banana. Sweet bananas, sometimes called “dessert bananas” are much more popular in the United States and Europe, but plantains are an extremely important staple for people in tropical countries.
Unlike dessert bananas, plantains are almost always cooked before eating. In fact, they taste pretty awful raw, so don’t be tricked by their banana-like features.
Cooked plantains are nutritionally very similar to a potato, calorie-wise, but contain more of certain vitamins and minerals. They’re a rich source of fiber, vitamins A, C, and B-6, and the minerals magnesium and potassium.
