About Plantains, yellow, fried, Latino restaurant

The plantain (Musa species) is a large, starchy cousin of the dessert banana, grown throughout the tropics as a filling staple food. Longer, thicker-skinned, and far less sweet than the eating banana, it is treated more like a vegetable and is almost always cooked. Its flavor and texture change dramatically as it ripens, from firm, starchy, and potato-like when green to soft, sweet, and golden when the peel turns black.

Plantains are a good source of complex carbohydrates and energy, along with fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin A. Green plantains are sliced and fried into crisp tostones and chips or boiled, while ripe ones are fried into sweet, caramelized maduros, mashed, baked, or simmered in stews across Caribbean, Latin American, and African cooking. Choose plantains at the ripeness suited to your dish, and ripen green ones at room temperature, where they slowly sweeten and darken over days.
