Green Plaintain Flour

Description

Green or unripe plantain flour is a type of edible flour made from 100% green and unripe plantain meal, directly sourced from farmers. It can be considered an African food item since farmers on the continent have vast plantations of the crop.

While plantains are related to bananas, they are distinct in their larger size, thicker skin, and less sweet taste when ripe.

Green plantain flour has a variety of uses, including being used to make cookies, flatbread and tortillas, waffles, donuts, pasta, baby food, pancake, and pie crust.

Plantain flour offers numerous benefits, such as:

• Blood sugar management: Unlike regular bananas, plantains are not high in sugar, and can help regulate blood sugar levels.
• Anti-inflammatory properties: With its high vitamin A content, plantain flour can help reduce inflammation, which is important for overall health.
• Lower risk of colon cancer: Plantain flour is rich in fiber, which has been shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer.
• Gluten-free: For people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, plantain flour is a great option as it is naturally gluten-free.
• Immune system support: Plantain flour contains vitamins A and C, which are essential for building a healthy immune system. Consider adding plantain flour to your diet for its health benefits.
