What is a Plantain ?
Plantains are similar to bananas. In fact, they are considered the cousin of the banana. However, Anyone who has ever accidentally eaten plantains instead of bananas will most likely not have a problem telling the two fruits apart. If bananas are the dessert, then plantains would be the mashed potatoes. Plantains look very similar to their sweeter banana cousins, but they are much starchier in consistency and blander in taste. Plantains grow in the same tropical regions as bananas, but they are not used for the same culinary purposes.
Some sources suggest that plantains should never be eaten raw or in their unripened green stage. Others say that plantains can be eaten throughout their entire ripening period, but must be prepared properly for their changing taste and texture. Plantains in their earliest stages have a green skin which cannot be peeled off easily. Cooks using plantains at this stage often cut them into two inch (5 cm) sections and boil them until they are the consistency of boiled potatoes.
As plantains continue to ripen, they become more of a yellow-orange than their bright yellow banana counterparts. They are still not sweet, but their flavor is not as bland as during the green stage. Finally, plantains ripen to a dark black color just before spoiling. Plantains at the overripe stage are almost as sweet as bananas, and can be peeled by hand. Shoppers looking for a different kind of banana for cooking should consider buying these black-skinned plantains.
