About Plantain
Plantains are nutrient-dense fruits closely related to bananas, native to Southeast Asia but popular in tropical regions like Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Unlike sweet bananas, plantains are starchy and typically cooked before consumption, making them a versatile staple in savory dishes. Rich in fiber, vitamins A, C, and B6, and essential minerals like magnesium and potassium, plantains support digestion, immunity, and heart health. They are naturally low in fat, but preparation methods such as frying can add significant calories and fat content. Plantains are ideal baked, boiled, or grilled to retain their nutritional benefits. Their adaptability in diverse cuisines—from African stews to Caribbean side dishes—makes them a global favorite.
