About Platanos
Plátanos, commonly known as plantains, are starchy fruits native to Southeast Asia but widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in Latin America, Africa, and the Caribbean. Unlike their sweet banana counterparts, plantains are larger, firmer, and often cooked before consumption. They are a versatile ingredient used in various cuisines, featuring prominently in dishes like tostones, mofongo, and plantain chips. Nutritionally, plantains are a rich source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin A, making them an excellent energy-boosting food. They are naturally low in fat and sodium, supporting heart health. However, plantains are often fried or prepared with added fats, which can increase calorie content, so moderation and preparation methods are key when considering their health impact. Whether boiled, baked, or grilled, plátanos are a satisfying and nutritious addition to savory or sweet meals.
