"Plantains are similar to bananas; however, plantains need to be cooked before you eat. Green plantains may be more popular because they are used to make chips or tostones, but when the plantains are very ripe, almost black, that’s when they are at their sweetest! That’s what you want here, not yellow because they won’t be sweet and soft enough. They should be soft and the skin almost black".
