Plantain mash

Plantain, like its cousin the banana, is one of the planet’s most delicious foods. A much-loved staple in tropical countries for generations but it is so much more, it looks like a banana but it has moves…

Plantain is rarely eaten raw. Ripe plantain is black and yellow, and tastes caramel sweet. Picked green, plantain is less sweet and more starchy – boiled, baked or fried, it tastes like potato. It has a similar calorie count but more vitamins and minerals.

Green or ripe, plantain packs a nutrition punch – it is naturally low in sodium, high in fibre and rich in potassium, magnesium and vitamins A, C and B6. Various studies show that it can help boost the immune system and regulate digestion.
