About Ash plantain
Ash plantain, also known as green cooking banana, is a starchy fruit widely used in South Asian, Caribbean, and African cuisines. Often mistaken for bananas, these unripe plantains are firmer and less sweet, making them ideal for savory dishes like curries, chips, or stews. Their pale green skin turns yellow as they ripen, but ash plantains are typically consumed when green. Rich in dietary fiber, ash plantains support digestion and help maintain steady blood sugar levels. They're also a good source of complex carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamins like vitamin A and C, which support immune function and overall health. Low in fat and cholesterol-free, they serve as a nutritious alternative to processed carbs. However, preparation methods like deep-frying can increase their calorie and fat content. For healthier options, consider steaming, boiling, or roasting this versatile ingredient to maximize its nutritional benefits.
