What is a "plantain"?
Plantain refers to a starchy fruit that is similar in appearance to bananas but possesses a firmer texture and a milder taste. It is commonly used as a cooking ingredient rather than being eaten raw. Ripe plantains are sweet and can be consumed as a dessert or used in sweet preparations, while unripe plantains are more starchy and are often fried or boiled as a savory side dish. Plantains are a versatile fruit found in various cuisines around the world and are appreciated for their culinary adaptability, providing a unique and delightful addition to both sweet and savory dishes.
