The Groovy Food Company’s Top Tips -
Plantains are from the banana family, but are seen as a vegetable and not a fruit.
They need to be cooked before they are eaten as unsuitable to eat raw. They are highly nutritious, as well as a good source of potassium and vitamins A and C.
Plantain is the perfect choice for a post training meal as they are known to improve athletic performance, lower blood pressure and increase blood flow.
