Introduction

Give an edge to pancake day by frying up some plantain! When fried, the edges of the fruit slices become crispy and caramelised like a butter-fried pancake – delicious. Interestingly, the plantain plant is actually considered a gigantic herb rather than a tree. The fruit is similar to a common banana, but larger.

It’s thought that plantain originated in Southeast Asia, coming from the horn plantain and the french plantain. Nowadays, plantains account for roughly 85% of worldwide banana cultivation.

Plantain grows in various areas of the world, including India, Africa, and tropical America.

I received my first box yesterday, and I am highly impressed with the packaging. None of the fruits were bruised, and they were maintained at an appropriate temperature. I am enjoying the experience of trying out new fruits that I had not encountered before. Wildlife
