Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

March 20 - Plantain Banana Usage & Selection Tips:

Plantains are cooked; fried like a potato when green - used in dessert dishes when ripe.

Good-quality plantains look like over-ripe bananas with dark spots and scars, but they should be fairly firm. The best plantain for frying is still green-skinned.

Avoid plantains that has completely black skin and is soft or has spots of mold.
