Single Plantain (0ne)

Description

Single Plantain is one whole plantain, sold individually so you can buy just what you need for a single dish or to top up a recipe — no need to commit to a bunch or box. Ripeness varies by delivery: green plantain suits boiling and chips, while a yellowing plantain is ready to fry into dodo.

How to prepare

• Peel and rinse before use.
• Boil, fry or grill depending on ripeness.

Perfect for

• Dodo (fried plantain)
• Boli (grilled plantain)
• Kelewele (spiced plantain)
• Boiled plantain

Storage

• Store at room temperature; ripens further over a few days if bought green.

Frequently asked

Why buy a single plantain?

It's a convenient way to get just one for a recipe, a snack, or to try before buying in bulk.

How do I know if it's ripe enough to fry?

A plantain that's yellowing with some black spots is ready for frying into sweet dodo; a fully green one is better boiled or fried as chips.
