About Boiled platano
Boiled Platano, a staple in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine, is a simple but nourishing dish made from ripe or green plantains. Plantains, similar to bananas but starchier, are peeled, sliced, and boiled until tender. This preparation minimizes added fats, making it a naturally low-calorie food. Rich in dietary fiber, plantains support digestion and provide sustained energy due to their complex carbohydrates. They are also a good source of potassium, which aids in maintaining healthy blood pressure, and vitamins A and C, which contribute to immune function and skin health. However, plantains are relatively high in natural sugars, particularly when ripe, so moderation may be advisable. Often enjoyed as a side dish or snack, Boiled Platano embodies the simplicity and wholesomeness of traditional tropical diets while offering plenty of nutritional benefits.
