Green Plantain

Green Plantains are unripe, starchy bananas that are a staple food in many tropical regions, including Africa, the Caribbean, and parts of Latin America. Unlike ripe plantains, which are sweet, green plantains have a mild, savory taste and a firm, starchy texture. They are often used as a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes. Green Plantains can be boiled, fried, grilled, or baked, and are commonly used to make dishes such as tostones (fried plantain slices), kpekple (boiled plantains), or fufu. They are also used in stews, soups, and casseroles, providing a hearty and filling base. Packed with essential nutrients like fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C, green plantains are a nutritious and energy-boosting addition to any meal.
