What Are Plantains? Someone calls them bananas. It could easily be mistaken to the untrained eye. It looks and smells like a banana, but if you ever bite into a raw plantain, you’ll know it’s not. Plantains are bigger than bananas, harder to peel (especially when green), and cannot be eaten raw. They must be cooked for consumption. So, why are they so popular in Caribbean cuisine? Plantains are very versatile. They are always ready for cooking no matter what stage of ripene...ss - green, yellow, or black, and plantains are used in different dishes from appetizers to desserts. Plantain is a fruit but considered a vegetable. When green, they are bland and starchy, much like a yucca root or potato. Medium ripe plantains are yellow or yellow dappled with black, and they are slightly sweet. When the skins have turned almost black, the plantains are fully ripe, aromatic and sweet. Plantains are low in fat and sodium with no cholesterol. They're high in carbohydrates and are a great source of potassium, magnesium, fiber and vitamin C. A half-cup serving of cooked plantains contains about 80 calories. And, of course, it is more than just tasty! Try Plantains at Potluck Restaurant!
