New Product Spotlight: Plantains

Plantains are a good source of fiber, vitamin C that aids with immune function, B6 that can help with cardiovascular function, and potassium that helps with regulating blood pressure.

Green plantains can be fried to make Tostones, a popular food in many countries such as Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Cuba, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. A green plantain cannot be peeled like a banana (tutorial). Cut the plantain into 1 inch thick slices and cook them in about a ½ cup of vegetable oil until golden brown (about 5 mins). Using the bottom of a jar or something flat, flatten the plantains and then fry again until they are golden on both sides (about 5 mins). Sprinkle it with salt and they are ready to be eaten! Tostones can be eaten on their own or enjoyed with a dip of your choice. Find the full recipe here.
