Preparation

Peel and cook before eating. Green plantains are a cooking ingredient, not ready-to-eat fresh fruit. This listing is for fresh produce, not seeds or live plants.

Storage and ripening

Keep at room temperature if you want the plantains to ripen. As they ripen, the peel changes from green to yellow and then darker shades, while the flesh becomes softer and sweeter. Refrigeration slows ripening but may darken the peel. Ripeness can continue changing during transit and storage, so assess the fruit on arrival and plan your cooking accordingly.
