Ripe Plantain
Ripe Plantain
The ripe plantain is a large variety of banana with a thick, dark yellow or black skin, depending on its degree of ripeness. Its flesh is soft, sweet, and more intensely flavored than when unripe. When ripe, the starch turns into sugar, making it ideal for sweet or sour dishes. It is often fried, baked, or grilled, and its texture is tender and creamy when cooked.
