About Plaintains
Plantains are nutrient-rich fruits belonging to the banana family, commonly used in African, Caribbean, Latin American, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Unlike sweet bananas, plantains are starchier, making them ideal for cooking rather than eating raw. They are a versatile ingredient, enjoyed in savory and sweet dishes, whether boiled, fried, baked, or mashed. Plantains are a great source of fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin A, supporting digestion, immunity, and eye health. They also contain potassium, which aids in maintaining healthy heart and muscle function. Though plantains are naturally low in fat, their preparation can impact their health profile; frying significantly increases calorie and fat content. When cooked with minimal oil, they can be a wholesome addition to a balanced diet. From crispy plantain chips to soft maduros, this nutrient-packed fruit adapts to countless flavor profiles, making it a global favorite.
