The plantain is a starchy fruit similar to the banana. It is firmer and has less sugar than a banana and must be cooked or processed to make it edible.
A ripe yellow plantain is sweet when cooked while an unripe green plantain has a more neutral flavor like a potato which makes it ideal for steaming, boiling or frying.
Plaintains are a common ingredient in Asian and Caribbean cuisines.
