Plantains are a nutritious source of carbohydrates. Plantains are in the same family as bananas. They look similar, but they are starchier and are usually only eaten cooked. Plantains can be used when green, yellow or so ripe that their skins are black.

Plantains can be used for cooking at any stage of ripeness, and ripe plantain can be eaten raw. As the plantain ripens, it becomes sweeter and its colour changes from green to yellow to black, just like bananas.Green plantains are firm and starchy, and resemble potatoes in flavor.lantains are a major food staple in West and Central Africa (Cameroon and DR Congo), Central America, the Caribbean islands and northern, coastal parts of South America (Colombia, Venezuela, etc.). Their attractiveness as food is that they fruit all year round, making them a reliable all-season staple food.
