Plantains - 1 / 10.0 lb

Like their cousin banana, they are grown all over the world, including in India, Egypt, Indonesia and tropical regions of the Americas. Plantains are usually larger and tougher than bananas, with much thicker skin. They may be green, yellow or very dark brown. Plantains are starchy, tough and not very sweet. They require cooking, as they are not enjoyable to eat raw.
