Green Plantain

Green plantains are a versatile staple in Latin American cuisine, prized for their starchy texture and mild flavor. Unlike their ripe yellow counterparts, green plantains maintain a firm consistency ideal for frying, boiling, or mashing. Rich in potassium, fiber, and essential vitamins, they serve as a nutritious base for traditional dishes like tostones, mofongo, and patacones. Select firm specimens with unblemished skin for optimal quality and longer shelf life. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
