Plantains are a versatile tropical fruit similar to bananas but larger and starchier. Originating from Southeast Asia and widely used in African, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisines, plantains can be prepared in a variety of ways—fried, boiled, or baked. Rich in complex carbohydrates, they are a great source of fiber, vitamins A, C, and B6, and essential minerals like potassium. Despite being higher in calories than standard bananas, when enjoyed in moderation, plantains provide energy and nutritional benefits, making them a delicious addition to any meal.
