Plantain
Plantains are also called green or cooking bananas. They are a thick skinned banana that turns brown-black when ripe. The Plantain can be used at every stage of ripeness. Unripe green-yellow Plantains can be cooked by deep frying or boiling. Unripe fruit will have a bland flavor and starchy texture. Ripe Plantains have a sweet fruitiness making them perfect for desserts. Green Plantains can be refrigerated, but once ripe store at cool room temperature. Black fruit should be consumed soon and not stored for long.
