Is plantain the same as banana? If it's not then I have heard this name for the first time and if you had to depend on this fruit alone during your childhood, it must be really a hard situation. Thanks for your post.
For me, I would say they are the same even though people in my country differentiate them. Plantain can be fried while Banana is always small and can be eaten raw without frying. Though some people including me eat raw plantain too which makes plantain to be eaten in two ways, fried or raw.
@princessbusayo we eat raw banana too fried and as vegetable dry or with gravy. But plantain was definitely a new word for me. Thank you letting me know.
You are welcome. Plantain has a different colour from bananas but both are still called bananas anyway. lol
I have also loved eating plantain too and I can´t do without it. Apart from the benefits of plantain, it can make the stomach full for some hours. Plantain is a proteinous food which has a lot of benefits which you have listed in your post. Thank you for sharing.
