They resemble wild, prehistoric-looking bananas. Unlike bananas, however, plantains must he cooked to be eaten. Green plantains ripen to yellow and develop black patches. This is okay. Despite their spotted appearance, ripe plantains are at their most desirable level-sweet, tender, and banana-like. Plantains are often fried, but roasting them is a healthful alternative. Nutr.
