About Plantain tart

Plantain Tart is a flavorful pastry rooted in Caribbean cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. This dish features ripe plantains, mashed into a smooth, naturally sweet filling, spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and occasionally a touch of sugar. The filling is encased in flaky, golden pastry dough, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. Plantains are rich in fiber, vitamins A and C, and potassium, offering nutritional benefits such as improved digestion, immune support, and heart health. However, the pastry dough introduces refined flour and butter, which can be high in calories, saturated fats, and carbohydrates depending on preparation methods. While Plantain Tart can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, moderation is key due to its sugar and fat content. This delightful treat highlights the fusion of taste and tradition emblematic of Caribbean culinary heritage.
