While plantains are a staple in Latin America, they are not as widely used in the U.S., but they should be! Plantains are rich in potassium, vitamins B6 and C, fiber, and beta carotene. Nutrient dense and delicious, plantains are one of the healthiest starches around.*
For a healthy cooking method, rinse plantains and cut them into 2 inch chunks with the skin on. Boil in salted water for 15 to 20 minutes, drain, and remove the skin. You can also grill or roast plantains in your oven. All of these options are healthier than traditional frying methods.
