Description

Plantains are close cousins to bananas, similar in color and form. This Banana-shaped fruit, however, has thick, greenish-yellow skin. Its flesh cannot be eaten raw; it must be cooked. Having said this, plantains may be used at various stages of ripeness for a wide variety of dishes. Think outside the box with this fabulous fruit; in its green stage, a plantain exhibits a sweet flavor and may be used in desserts.
