Plantain
Similar to a banana, but not so, plantains change texture and taste with every maturing stage. Green or yellow, plantains are prepared and used differently depending on its ripeness. When green, the peel seems to be uncooperative. First cut the ends off, slice the skin vertically and peel. Ripeness makes for easy peeling and sweet taste. When ripe, boil it, fry it, or mash it. If green, cut into chunks, fry, mash and fry again. Makes for great appetizers. Store at 50°F.
