Plantain

Plantain Green
Green plantains are firm, starchy, and commonly used in savory dishes like fries, chips, and stews. Unlike sweet bananas, they’re rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and resistant starch, which helps regulate blood sugar levels and supports digestive health. Green plantains are also a good source of potassium, vitamin B6, and magnesium—promoting heart health, energy metabolism, and muscle function.

Plantain Yellow
Yellow plantains are ripe, softer, and slightly sweet, making them ideal for grilling, baking, or caramelizing. As they ripen, their starch converts to natural sugars, offering more sweetness while still delivering nutrients. They’re rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants that support immune function, eye health, and skin repair. Their fiber content also helps with digestion and maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
