50 lb. Case of Fresh Green Plantains with Firm Starchy Texture

This 50-pound case contains fresh green plantains harvested at full maturity, featuring a firm, starchy texture and an astringent taste with vegetal, grassy, and herbal notes. Green plantains are a staple ingredient in Caribbean, African, Indian, Southeast Asian, and Latin American cuisines.

These plantains provide potassium, fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, and magnesium. They should be fully cooked or processed before consumption to tenderize the flesh and peel the skin. Common preparations include boiling and mashing for dishes like West African fufu or Puerto Rican mofongo, slicing and frying for tostones, or making plantain chips.

This refrigerated bulk supply ships as a single 50 lb. case and should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from ripe bananas to prevent ripening.
