Green Plantain
The green banana is the variety of banana that is consumed before it fully ripens. It has a firmer texture and a starchier flavor than conventional bananas and a lower sugar content.
It is mainly consumed cooked when it is still green. It is cooked boiled, fried, steamed or in other processing formulas such as, for example, chips (patacones, chifles, tostones). Another form of consumption is banana flour.
