Plantains

Plantains are a staple food in South America, Asia and Africa. They are starchier than regular bananas and can be used like potatoes. Green (unripe) plantains, such as are used for planatain flour, taste neither sweet nor like banana. When ripe (yellow), they taste like a slightly sweet banana and impart this flavor to the dish.
