@averygirl72 mmmhhhh. I've never really called them vegetables. Although they are cooked like that.

Is that actually what we would call bananas or is it plantains? I wouldn't cook what we call bananas unless in a cake or something like that.
I hope you enjoyed it.

@mildredtabitha In banana bread here we use over-ripe bananas.
Plantains look like bananas but are much bigger. I understand they don't taste good unless cooked in some way.
unripe bananas on the left and ripe and unripe plantains on the center and right of photo.

@DaddyEvil ooh I get it. I understand what you mean by plantains.
The ones we cook are the unripe ones. The green ones

@mildredtabitha Yes, I have experienced it. I was born in the Philippines and we have those kinds of bananas in my yard in my home country.

it actually looks good. Where you live I imagine lots of bananas are used in cooking.

Sugar is added to ripe bananas.
The unripe ones (green ones) are the ones we cook

Make sure the bananas are green and not ripe. Not all types of bananas can be cooked

@mildredtabitha Okay, thanks for the info. We would cook just-ripe ones and have them in pancakes perhaps.

@JudyEv yes. Banana pancake. The ripe bananas mixed with eggs and then fried will give mouth watering banana pancake

They are cooked the way potatoes are cooked. But the bananas should be unripe
