PLANTAINS!


Have you ever wondered what those funny looking bigger than banana-things are in the supermarket? So did we! Luckily, we got a chance to learn all about plantains: in which countries they grow, how they grow (what the plant looks like), the plantain's native country which is India, the other countries that enjoy the fruit, comparisons and contrasts to the banana, how and why they end up here for sale, and at last, a simple recipe for how to PREPARE THEM! (we chose frying!)

We hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we did eating them.

The salty version as well as the sweet version with cinnamon and Mexican Creme were delightfully delicious!

Dropping them in the sizzling oil









Cinnamon and sugar style!






The first bite!









Yummy yummy!
