Starchy Plantain

A starchy plantain is a type of plantain that is less sweet and contains more starch compared to ripe plantains. Plantains are a member of the banana family but are typically used as a vegetable due to their firm texture and starchy nature when unripe. They are a staple food in many tropical and subtropical regions around the world.

Starchy plantains are an essential ingredient in global cuisines, offering a nutritious and versatile alternative to potatoes or other starches
