Plantains, often considered the larger sister of bananas, belong to the banana family and are higher in starch. Unlike bananas, they must be cooked to be edible and can be used in savory dishes or desserts. The thicker skin of plantains makes them harder to peel than bananas. Techniques for easier peeling include warming the plantains to room temperature, scoring the skin, and boiling them briefly, which loosen the skin for easier removal. These tips can make the preparation of plantains more manageable and enjoyable in the kitchen.
Plantains are larger than bananas and have a higher starch content; they must be cooked before consumption, unlike raw bananas.
