Plantain

What is Plantains?

Plantains are starchy, banana-like fruits commonly used in savory dishes. Unlike sweet bananas, plantains are typically cooked before consumption and are a staple in many tropical and subtropical cuisines, often fried, baked, or boiled.

Why do I have an intolerance to it?

Plantain intolerance may arise from its high fiber content, which can cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. Additionally, some may be intolerant to the carbohydrates found in plantains, leading to bloating or gas.

What can I do about it?

To manage intolerance, you can try eating smaller portions of plantains or opting for ripe plantains, which are easier to digest than unripe ones. If symptoms persist, consider avoiding plantains altogether.
