Green bananas on the other hand don't have much of a taste when boiled. It's a little bland.Felixhttp://www.simplytrinicooking.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753181363948346773.post-72198314120429033362010-04-25T18:51:15.569-04:002010-04-25T18:51:15.569-04:00Interesting, only yesterday I asked my husband, ho...Interesting, only yesterday I asked my husband, how they prepare the green bananas here (as opposed to plantains) and he didn't know.<br />In the supermarket I always see them.<br />I think I found a possible answer :)<br />Do they taste very similar to boiled plantains, or is there a big difference?Foehrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832398551117158761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753181363948346773.post-24840263042201260262010-04-25T11:44:57.910-04:002010-04-25T11:44:57.910-04:00@ Lori Lynn I'm glad to be the first to introd...@ Lori Lynn I'm glad to be the first to introduce you to green bananas. There are so much recipes you could do and maybe even invent along the way!<br /><br />@ Cynthia buying green bananas is not that hard. But it is rare that I buy bananas because I just went in my backyard and cut a bunch to make this dish.<br /><br />Anyhow, Just like the woman told you: when it's too full or closer to ripening you can't really cook it because it will taste sour. It must have a nice uniform green colour and not about to yellow. <br /><br />It's that simple: look for green bananas that does not look like a full ripe banana and yuh good to go :-)Felixhttp://www.simplytrinicooking.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753181363948346773.post-49225540668386856172010-04-24T23:09:45.855-04:002010-04-24T23:09:45.855-04:00OMG, Felix, you have me drooling here. The first t...OMG, Felix, you have me drooling here. The first time I had this dish was in St. Lucia. Actually, that is where I was introduced to green bananas.<br /><br />You know what, can you advise on how to go about buying green bananas? I saw some the other day but a woman standing next to me advised me to go get it because the banana was already "full", meaning that it is closer to ripening. Any tips on buying green bananas?Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01565340772467109199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753181363948346773.post-54936435132355507732010-04-24T23:02:25.191-04:002010-04-24T23:02:25.191-04:00Hi Felix!
