Description
Description:
Plantian, is a major group of banana varieties (genus Musa) that
are staple foods in many tropical
areas. The edible fruit of plantain bananas has more starch than
the common dessert banana and is not eaten raw. Because plantains
have the most starch before they ripen, they are usually cooked
green, either
boiled or fried, in savory dishes. The ripe fruits are mildly sweet
and are often cooked with coconut juice or sugar as a flavouring.
Plantains may also be dried for later use in cooking or ground for
use as a meal, which can be further refined to a flour.
