About Plantain tostones
Plantain tostones are a traditional side dish rooted in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines, celebrated for their simplicity and satisfying crunch. Made from green, unripe plantains, they are sliced, fried, flattened, and fried again to achieve their golden, crispy texture. Plantains are a starchy fruit rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamins A and C, offering nutritional value to this dish. Their natural carbohydrates provide energy, while the fiber supports digestion. However, the double frying process increases the calorie and fat content, making portion control important for a balanced diet. Typically served with savory dips or paired with meat and seafood, tostones are versatile and flavorful, but moderation is key given their preparation method. For a healthier alternative, consider baking or air frying tostones instead.
