Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 My husband who is all raw eats plantains. They are good dehydrated if you wait for them to get almost all black, or he just eats them like bananas when they are very ripe on the way to being black. At this point the starch turns to sugar.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Hi Sharon, I still prefer the banana too but the plantains are a pleasant change occasionally. Looks like a banana, feels like a banana and even tastes much like a banana. But I don’t like the texture a whole lot which is why I toss it in a smoothie.

He knows I like ones he considers rotten, so he brought me some plantains by mistake. I ate them because I didn't want to waste them as they are more expensive. The skins have to become completely brown before they are ready to eat, otherwise they are too starchy. I still prefer speckled bananas.
