Key Points

  • Serving size: 255 grams
  • For the best buy, choose plump green or black plantains that are not shriveled. Ripe plantains will be soft and dark brown or black in color.
  • To prepare plantains, slice off both ends. Cut slits through the skin and peel.
  • To keep them fresh, store plantains at room temperature for 4-5 days.
