Plantains are rich in nutrients and dietary fibre.They are also rich in potassium and in Vitamin A and C .They are good antioxident as well.(Plantains are  not to be confused with bananas.Plantains are bigger than bananas and hard to peel. Raw  plantains are  used like potatoes or vegetables )They are specially  good for making chips Well ripe plantains  are usually roasted in ghee or baked .Now  I tried  a different snack  and it is really a delicious and healthy  snack

#losingweight.As green plantain is high in fiber, it gives feeling of fullness and it reduces further intake of food. So lesser intake of food gradually reduce weight.

I had some ripened plantains and I thought about making pancakes with them. I did a little research and saw that someone already had. But they said to stay away from ripened plantains... I found out that they were just trying to keep the good stuff to themselves. These pancakes aren’t as sweet as they would be with banana. But honestly, they’re sweet enough. You can even eat them with whipped cream cheese and smoked salmon.. use your imagination.

Plantains are used in all their glory in the Caribbean--it is a member of the banana family and are not edible until they are cooked. We are always looking for new ways to use it --here is my take on it

another tasty dish created by me!!! plantains are naturally sweet --I added a few savoury ingredients and let them work their magic!!

I had a few over riped plantains and didn't know what to do with them -- I decided to experiment and came up with this!!

Payasam is one of the most important dishes which malayalees enjoy during festivals,and special occasions like birthdays... etc. Last week I tried a new recipe with ada and ripe plantains .It was really yummy and was highly demanding..

Its a combo of beans and ripe plantain that gives:protein,vitamins and minerals

I love this recipe. The first time I.ate it as a teenager I wondered how I'd gone so long without tasting it. It is a great alternative to regular lasagna and is so yummy.

very easy to make and yummy too!

Until I found this recipe on the internet last spring, I didn't know about plantains. After some experimenting, I came up with this recipe. I like to eat them for breakfast with a big mug of hot coffee :) I highly recommend using yellow plantains, they are far easier to peel than green ones and they make the muffins more moist :)
