Plantain
Plantains are the less sweet, starchier equivalent to the banana. Sweet bananas, sometimes called“dessert bananas” are much more popular in the United States and Europe, but plantains are an extremely important staple for people in tropical countries. Unlike dessert bananas, plantains are almost always cooked before eating. In fact, they taste pretty awful raw, so don’t be tricked by their banana-like features. Green plantains are distinguished by their age. They are simply the younger immature stage of the fruit. ... As plantains ripen, they develop a sweet taste and their colour changes from green to yellow to black.
