They provide a nice variety for the palate of tropical fruits.

First time I ate one, I ate it like a banana. Big mistake. Then I learned out to cook them. They are great!

@luv2fish That's what I did.

@luv2fish Thats funny. Lol If they are very ripe nearly black on the outside you can eat them raw but its not too good still. My husband grew up on plantain farms so they occasionally have eaten them raw but its not the norm for sure.

Have you tried dehydrated Banana?😋
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@Tukudo Is it like banana chips
Tukudo · 41-45, M
@REMsleep No, full size banana just dehydrate. Mostly like a dry fruit.

I've yet to find a good recipe for them. I bought some one day thinking they were bananas?! 🧐🍌But they're NOT.

I have had that but it was in a hot sauce made from a recipe from Ghana, I liked it.

what do they taste like?

@crownedwithlaurel97
Imagine a banana without a sugary taste.
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@crownedwithlaurel97 They are in the banana family but are way more versatile.
They start off green and are very hard. You cannot eat them without cooking it. They are not sweet when green. They make good chips at that stage.

Once you let them sit on the counter few days the outside turns blackish spotty and the sugar comes out.
You can boil it in soups or fry them sweet and crispy. Like sweet potato fries
I dont, i like pineapples
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@SStarfish But pineapples and Plaintains have nothing in common. Do you like bananas?
@REMsleep idk if i like bananas.. Maybe

No they're disgusting
REMsleep · 41-45, F
@Sirmunchabunch What? You're crazy. You can fry them thin and green like chips or boil them soft in a lobster curry. You must have no tastebuds

Yes. I haven’t had them in decades, though. One of my aunts used to prepare them.
