In Cuba,
banana is replaced with plantain. It looks like a banana, but isn’t soft and easy to eat initially. If one can imagine a banana morphing into a
potato, stop at about 35% and you will have a plantain.
Taste
Plantain tastes good when prepared, but doesn’t offer a very good time/benefit ratio when compared to a banana.
