Storage advice Plantains

In the store

Plantains should be stored around 8 degrees Celsius and with a relative humidity (RH) of 50-60% before sale.

At home

We advise consumers to store plantains at room temperature, for example in the fruit bowl. Plantains can be kept for more than a week.

Usage tips Plantains

Plantain is best when the skin has turned completely black. Remove the peel and cook or fry the banana. Note: you cannot eat plantain raw. Unripe plantains can also be used. Then the bananas have to be washed after peeling. Also, the cooking or baking time will be longer if the banana is not yet ripe.
