Green Plantain
The green plantain is the unripe variety of banana. It has a thick, green skin and a firm, starchy texture, making it ideal for cooking and baking. Green plantain has a neutral flavor and easily absorbs other flavors.
Cultivation
Plantains are grown in tropical and subtropical regions, as in many countries in Central and South America. Plants need plenty of sunlight and regular water to grow.
Nutritional values
These plantains are rich in starch, fiber and potassium. They also contain vitamin C and B vitamins.
Use
Green plantains are often boiled, baked or fried. They are used in savory dishes such as potato chips and plantain fries.
Did you know…
Green plantains are rich in starch and contain resistant starch. Resistant starch behaves differently from ordinary starch in the digestive process. It serves as nutrition for beneficial gut bacteria, which can be beneficial for gut health. This makes green plantains not only a tasty ingredient, but also a nutritious choice with potentially positive health benefits.
