Description
Plantain is a starchy tropical fruit that belongs to the banana family but is quite different from the sweet dessert banana. Larger, firmer, and less sugary, plantains are usually cooked before being eaten. Their taste and texture change as they ripen: when green, they are hard and starchy, similar to potatoes; when yellow, they become softer and slightly sweet; and when fully ripe and blackened, they develop a rich sweetness with a tender texture.
Plantains are a versatile staple food in many parts of Africa, the Caribbean, Central and South America, often boiled, fried, roasted, or pounded into flour. They are highly nutritious, providing dietary fiber, potassium, vitamins A and C, and complex carbohydrates that give long-lasting energy.
Known as a “cooking banana,” plantain is more than just food—it is a cultural dish enjoyed in countless traditional meals, from fried plantains (dodo) to plantain chips, fufu, porridge, and stews. Its adaptability and nourishing qualities make it a vital crop for millions of households around the world.
