What is Plátano Maduro?
Plátano maduro, also known as ripe plantain, is a staple ingredient across Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and many Caribbean countries.
Unlike bananas, plantains are commonly cooked and enjoyed fried, baked or boiled in traditional homemade recipes.
Ripe plantain has a naturally sweet flavour and soft texture, making it perfect for dishes like maduros, breakfasts, soups and Latin side dishes.
Green plantains are also widely used for patacones, tostones and savoury recipes throughout Latin America.
