Food Facts

Bananas and plantains are not interchangeable. While they are close relatives, plantains are usually cooked before they are eaten.

Cooking Know-How

Yellow plantains are often spotted with brownish-black flecks which are a sign that the sugars in the fruit have begun to develop. At this stage, the plantain is more tender, but still firm, with a creamy texture and slightly sweeter, more pronounced, banana flavour.
