Plantain
Plantains offer a moderate calorie source with a high content of carbohydrates and natural sugars, providing a quick energy boost. Their low fat content makes them a light addition to any diet, while the fiber helps support digestive health. They are notably rich in potassium, which plays a key role in muscle function and electrolyte balance. Additionally, plantains provide vitamin C and vitamin A, essential for immune support and skin health.
