I've had a ripe yellow Plantain, at the perfect ripeness, & enjoyed it very much. The texture was a creamy density, & the flavour was Banana, but with a very citrusy sweetness, that I fell in love with. So much more than a Banana. So yeah, if I ever get the opportunity, then I'd love to grow them, along with Icecream Bananas.
Thanks for the fun video! I appreciated your natural and easygoing interaction with (as I assume) your family! (sorry if I'm wrong, hehe). This is just what I needed to learn about plantains tonight! Going to try making jollof rice (a nigerian/ghanaian rice dish) and fried plantains tomorrow!
Glad I could learn a few things about Belize tonight too, btw. From the Ghana and Nigerian cooking videos I've seen, I've learned that they also have a food named fufu in their cuisine! And it seems quite similar to Belizean fufu that you've mentioned, it is also made from plantains and eaten with another main dish -- I could be wrong, haha. Though I did enjoy the quick lesson from you and Google. Blessings to you and your family!
I have a plantain and it stayed green for a while, got some browner spots so I decided to cut it, but when I opened it it had these brown/wooden looking hard spots, I can't find anything about this online, hoping you can help me out if it's safe to eat this or not for in the future 😅
That happens when you get plantains that we're brought to the market without it getting to its fully matured stage which is what you can't controle as a consumer. Yes you can go ahead and clean off they hard spots and eat the plantain.its very safe to eat them.
Thanks for sharing this detailed explanation! Question: sometimes when I open the ripe ones they have slightly pink, slimy spots inside...are those parts of the plantain going bad?
Can you direct me to any recipes you have made cooking with the plantain or can you make a couple of them? Looking forward to see what can be done with them.
I am SO interested in how you cook Plantains!!!! I know about cooking plantains that are over ripe sliced on the bias and then fried in vegetable oil. I know they can be boiled and such, but know Nothing about these.
@@TheBarePantryShow you look so much like my Puertorican friend. We eat lots of plantains fried. We call them "Tostones". Delicious. We make sandwiches, the plantain is the bread, they are called "Jibaritos"
