The plantain is a fruit native to West Africa that resembles an ordinary banana, but is generally longer with a thicker skin. It is often used as a vegetable in African, Caribbean and South American cuisine. Plantains can be eaten at different stages of ripeness: when green, they are firmer and have a drier texture, making them ideal for frying or cooking in savory dishes; when yellow, they are softer and sweeter, making them ideal for grilling or cooking in sweet dishes.
