Plantains are a type of banana that contain less sugar than the common yellow
banana. They are prepared similarly to vegetables being either fried or cooked. They
are not suitable for eating raw unless they are very ripe. Plantains are low in sodium
and high in vitamin A, potassium, and fiber. They contain similar nutritional content as
bananas.
