I learned something at Ann Wigmore. Plantains are super sweet like bananas. BUT you have to wait until they are COMPLETELY black and rotten looking.. What a cool concept. I bought a black one yesterday. Very Very good, like a meaty banana!!! Re: Plantains secret for you guys

They almost give them away at the fruit markets when they are at there best. Cherimoya, Peace Love and Happiness, Re: Plantains secret for you guys

Date: December 03, 2008 04:33PM Thanks Suvine! I've always wondered if there's some secret to eating plantains; it just didn't make sense that they were naturally hard and inedible. Re: Plantains secret for you guys

Date: December 04, 2008 01:26AM are they prone to many pesticides and gmo-ing if they aren't organic do you know? It's so hard to get any kind of banana-related plant organic..that isn't a banana  around here
but i so want to try the little red ones, and baby ones and that plantain talk sounds sooo good Re: Plantains secret for you guys

Very Very good, like a meaty banana!!!" Do you mean it was not starchy? At all? I loved steamed plantain and it would be nice to be able to include it in a fruitarian diet. Provided of course it is actually edible. I wondered why a banana family member cook only be eaten cooked......perhaps now i know...we just didn't let it ripen sufficiently. Thanks for the good news.

Date: December 17, 2008 08:59PM ok, i tried it, and it was kind of like...coffee chocolate hintage in there.. it was really wierd; the texture was a little too weird for me. I don't know, I didn't quite enjoy it that much by itself, put it seems like it would make for a really good mixture in something...blended with something Re: Plantains secret for you guys
