About Plantain green
Plantain Green, a staple in tropical and subtropical cuisines, is a versatile fruit closely related to bananas. It is commonly used throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Unlike ripe plantains, green plantains are starchy and less sweet, making them ideal for frying, boiling, or baking in savory dishes. Rich in complex carbohydrates, they provide sustained energy and are a source of dietary fiber, supporting good digestion. Green plantains contain essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and magnesium. However, they are typically prepared using oil, which may increase calorie content depending on cooking methods. Their low sugar content makes them a suitable choice for managing blood sugar levels. Whether mashed as mofongo, sliced for tostones, or incorporated into stews, green plantains are a nutritious and satisfying ingredient in diverse global recipes.
