Plantain
Plantains are a year-round tropical staple, essential for savory and sweet dishes across African, Caribbean, and Latin American cuisines. As a starchy relative of the banana, they are typically cooked before consumption. They provide a dense source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, potassium, and vitamins A, C, and B6.
