Platano is a versatile tropical fruit, often referred to as plantain, originating from Central and South America. Packed with essential nutrients, it’s rich in potassium, fiber, and vitamins A and C. Unlike its sweeter cousin, the banana, platano is starchy and typically cooked before eating, making it a staple in many savory dishes. Whether fried, boiled, or baked, platano adds texture and flavor to cuisines such as Caribbean, Latin American, and African. While it can be high in carbohydrates, its nutritional density offers numerous health benefits, making it a delicious choice for a balanced diet.
