Green Plantain
Green Plantain is a starchy tropical fruit widely used in West African, Caribbean, Central and South American cuisines; it can be cooked green like a vegetable or eaten ripe and sweet in desserts. It is relatively carbohydrate-rich at 31.9g per 100g, which makes it a good energy source when used in savory or fried dishes. Plantains provide modest fiber and vitamin C, and tend to be quite filling, but they are low in protein and contain very little fat, so pair them with a protein or healthy fat for a balanced meal.
