Frequently Asked Questions
How do I store yellow plantains?
Store unripe plantains at room temperature until they ripen. Ripe plantains can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days to extend their shelf life.
How can I tell if a yellow plantain is ripe?
A ripe yellow plantain will have a vibrant yellow colour with some black spots and will yield slightly to gentle pressure.
Can I use green (unripe) plantains in the same way as yellow plantains?
No, green plantains are starchier and less sweet. They are best suited for savoury dishes like fried plantain chips or plantain mash (Mashed Green Plantain).
