Plantain Banana
Following my usual, each time I go to the mega produce store I buy something I have never tried before. Today it is a Plantain Banana.
Just what does one do with one of these things? I thought it was just a banana... turns out, it's supposed to be like a potato.
How do you know when it is ripe? Everything I have read offers a different opinion.
Thoughts?
TIA

Black (or nearly): people use this for deserts: Any place you would use banana, and in the same way.
Typically, I fry the slices in a little oil until they are caramelized, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

I'm going to try it both ways. Let it get black and try it raw and the other one I'll fry it. Thanks!
this is a very popular fruit in ElSalvador. my SIL is from there and she slices and fries them (she waits till they are allmost black) then eats them with cream. They are pretty good. when I went there for my brothers wedding they were allways srved for breakfast at the motel we stayed at.

I'm not a fan of cream but frying them and trying them different ways sounds good!
Stupid question but this is a fruit, right?
