• Green Plantain
• Plantains are native to India, Mexico and Africa.
• They are grown most widely in tropical climates.
• Plantains are sometimes referred to as the pasta and potatoes of the Caribbean.
• Sold in the fresh produce section of the supermarket, they usually resemble green bananas but ripe plantains may be black in color.
• This vegetable-banana can be eaten and tastes different at every stage of development.
• The interior color of the fruit will remain creamy, yellowish or lightly pink.
• When the peel is green to yellow, the flavor of the flesh is bland and its texture is starchy.
• As the peel changes to brown or black, it has a sweeter flavor and more of a banana aroma, but still keeps a firm shape when cooked.
• The fiber also aids in the weight control.
