Category: Vegetables
One green plantain, firm and starchy, perfect for traditional Puerto Rican dishes like mofongo, tostones, or sancocho. Its neutral flavor and firm texture make it ideal for boiling, frying, or baking, and it soaks up garlic, olive oil, and sofrito seasoning beautifully. Visit blog.PuertoRicoProduce.com for many plantain recipes, to learn about its Asian origin, and to understand more about its nutritional value. Store it at room temperature, out of the refrigerator, until you're ready to use it, and let it ripen a bit if you prefer a sweeter flavor before cooking.
