Green plantains are a versatile staple in Caribbean, Latin American, and West African cuisines. Unlike their sweet yellow counterparts, green plantains have a starchy, mild flavor and firm texture that holds up well to frying, boiling, and baking. Use them to make tostones (twice-fried plantain rounds), mofongo (mashed plantain with garlic and oil), or simply boil and serve as a hearty side dish. They're rich in potassium, fiber, and vitamin C, making them a nutritious addition to any meal. Select firm, unblemished plantains and store in a cool, dry place. They'll keep for several weeks as they ripen and gradually turn yellow.
