About Bolon de verde

Bolón de Verde is a traditional Ecuadorian dish made from green plantains, often mashed and mixed with cheese or pork rinds before being shaped into a ball and fried or baked. Originating from coastal regions of Ecuador, it is a popular breakfast or snack that embodies the rich flavors of Latin American cuisine. The plantains provide a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and essential minerals like potassium. While high in nutrients, the addition of fried pork rinds and cheese can increase its fat and calorie content, making it a more indulgent treat. For a healthier version, baking instead of frying, and using lean fillings can help reduce saturated fats. Bolón de Verde is a satisfying dish with a balance of carbohydrates and protein, ideal for energy-rich meals or post-workout nutrition when consumed in moderation.
