About Patacon
Patacón, also known as tostones, is a popular dish originating from Latin American, Caribbean, and African cuisines. Made from green plantains, these starchy fruits are peeled, sliced, fried, flattened, and fried again until golden and crispy. Patacones are often served as a side dish, snack, or paired with toppings like meats, beans, cheese, or sauces for a hearty treat. While plantains are a good source of fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C, their double-frying process makes patacones quite calorie-dense and high in unhealthy fats, depending on the oil used. Choosing healthier preparation methods, like baking or air frying, can help mitigate these concerns while preserving their delicious crunch. Rich in carbohydrates, Patacóns provide quick energy, but moderation is key to enjoying this savory staple of Latin culture as part of a balanced diet.
