Yellow Plantains

Yellow plantains can be refrigerated to slow ripening, but the peel will turn black. For longer storage, peel and freeze them in airtight bags.

Yellow plantains are great for frying, baking, or mashing into sweet dishes.

The riper the plantain (more black spots), the sweeter and softer it will be.

Use them in desserts like plantain cake or sweet fritters.

Treating yellow plantains like sweet bananas; they still have a firmer texture and require cooking for optimal flavor and texture.

Trying to boil or mash them when they are still very firm and green, as they will be starchy and less appealing than their green counterparts.
