About Platano
Platano, commonly known as plantain, is a versatile fruit native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated across tropical regions, including Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa. Although it resembles a banana, it is starchier and less sweet, often used as a staple ingredient in savory dishes. Rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C, platanos offer nutritional benefits like supporting digestion, boosting immunity, and promoting heart health. When prepared boiled or baked, they are a healthy option, while frying may increase calorie and fat content. Green plantains are typically used for dishes like tostones or mofongo, whereas ripe plantains lend themselves to sweeter recipes such as maduros. With their adaptability and nutrient profile, platanos are a flavorful and substantial choice for meals across many cultural cuisines.
