Plantains

Plantains are the member of the banana family that cannot be eaten raw. They can be pan-fried, but cooking, deep-frying, grilling and mashing are also excellent options. The fruit is characterised by its high starch content. The delicious sweet taste for which plantains are so famous only comes out after cooking.

Plantains are available in several colours: green, yellow-green, dark yellow, brown or black. The colour of the plantain also indicates the ripeness stage. The darker the colour, the riper the banana. As the plantain ripens, its texture also becomes softer and the banana gets a sweeter taste. Because of its thick skin, peeling the plantain is a bit more work.

Transport and storage: Plantains stay in optimal condition if they are transported and stored refrigerated. The recommended temperature is 10 to 12˚C.

Shop: Opt for the refrigerated shelf as the perfect place to keep plantains in optimal condition.
