The nutritional content of plantains varies greatly depending on their level of ripeness and how they’re prepared. Plantains are a high-fiber content and nutritious choice as a healthy source of carbs.

The basic nutrition facts Plantain Nutritional Fact

Plantains are a good source of protein and fat, so they only represent one part of a healthy, balanced diet — similar to many grains.

Digestive health
Fiber is important because it promotes bowel regularity. Fiber softens your stool and increases its overall size and weight. Bulky stools are much easier to pass and therefore prevent constipation.

Eating a high-fiber diet may also reduce your risk of hemorrhoids and small pouches in your large intestine known as diverticular disease. Fiber also increases fullness, slows digestion, and may help manage cholesterol.

Weight management
Carbohydrates aren’t necessarily a bad thing for weight management like most people believe. The fiber and starch found in plantains are complex carbs.

Fiber and complex carbs are less processed and more slowly digested than the simple carbs found in processed foods. They keep you fuller and more satisfied for longer after a meal, which can mean less snacking on unhealthy foods.

High in antioxidants
Plantains contain a good amount of your daily recommended amount of vitamin C. This vitamin acts as an antioxidant which may help boost your immune system.

As an antioxidant, it may protect your body against free radical damage that’s associated with aging, heart disease, and even some types of cancer.

Studies have shown an inverse relationship between vitamin C intake and lung, breast, colon, stomach, esophagus, and other types of cancers. People with cancer were also found to have lower blood plasma concentrations of vitamin C.

Good for your heart
The high amount of potassium found in plantains is essential for maintaining the cell and body fluids that control your heart rate and blood pressure. The fiber in plantains also helps lower your cholesterol, which in turn keeps your heart functioning at its best.

Versatile like potato
You might commonly come across plantains fried and soaked in grease as a side dish in a restaurant, maybe even topped with sour cream. While they taste absolutely amazing, fried plantains aren’t exactly a healthy choice if fried in an unhealthy oil. It’s better to think of plantains as a starchy vegetable or a substitute for potatoes. Their texture and mild flavor really shines when baked or grilled.

You can incorporate plantains as part of a meat- or vegetarian-friendly stew (like this!) or grill them alongside fish.

Plantains are an excellent option for gluten-free or paleo-friendly recipes.
