What's A Plantain?
Plantains are related to the banana, but unlike their yellow relatives, you wouldn't eat a raw plantain.
Green plantains are cooked before consumed. While yellow/brown plantains are often fried or baked and taste sweet. Green plantains are starchy and have less sugar than bananas.
While we in America are starting to see more plantains in grocery stores, restaurants, and in packaged foods, we're a little late to the game. Plantains are the 10th most important staple crop eaten worldwide. That's not surprising when you consider they grow year round and are incredibly dense with vitamins and minerals!
