Bananas and plantains, and then a powder plantain/rice plantain, are all bananas, and they can be eaten. By head, from large to small, you can probably tell the difference. But everyone's question is probably: what are the last two?
In fact, the plantain is not a stranger, many places in the courtyard have one or two clusters of banana trees to do embellishment, the book always writes "residual lotus to listen to the rain", "banana night rain" and the like, very interesting. The fruit on this banana tree looks like a banana at first glance, but the small one, looking closely, is a little different, of course, it is the banana.
When these plantains are like bananas, they grow to almost the same size, and when they are cooked, they can also be eaten. Depending on the variety, some plantains are not as tender as bananas, and they need to spit out the residue in the middle, but there are also special soft and ripe, more delicious bananas than bananas.
Bananas and plantains put together, in addition to the obvious size (bananas are large, plantains are small), there is a difference in shape, bananas are not as curved as bananas, it is short and fat. The skin is not as "bright" as bananas, and the surface layer of the banana is like ash with a layer of powder. It will look more cooked and tastier.
The plantain is one size smaller than the plantain, spread out on one side, less curvature, and softer and sweeter than bananas, and the price is generally slightly more expensive. Plantain and pink banana do not know if they are closer relatives? It shouldn't be the same thing, I think. Let's start by saying no.
Of the three, of course, bananas are more popular, and bananas and pink bananas do not know whether they can be separated into one or two?
Bananas don't need to be elaborated, let's talk about plantains.
Plantain fruit can be eaten, and plantain leaves are also very useful, often used to pack vegetables for meat, one bag after another, with straw or brown wire tied up, picked up and carried. When the pig rice is served before the Spring Festival, large pieces of pork are directly spread on large banana leaves, which is better to take care of than a layer of oil cloth paper.
Banana leaves can also be used as a container for serving vegetables and rice, and put on the table, which is very interesting. Some special barbecues also use banana leaves to wrap food and then process it, called "bun roast".
Parts of plantain flowers can also be eaten. The plantain flowers resemble a large upside-down pig's heart, sauce red. Cut it off, peel off the outer layers of large petals, eat the tender core inside, blanch the water, remove a layer of flower buds, eat the remaining more tender parts, can be cold mixed, can be fried with mustard sauerkraut plus tomatoes, there is no special taste, it is tender, some eat like lean meat.
The stem of the plantain is chopped, it is said that it can be fed to pigs and chickens, I don't know how to operate, in short, this banana tree can be used almost all over the body.
Bananas and pink banana trees are not also such a situation, it is not clear, know the friends to teach one or two?
Have you ever eaten all three of these, bananas, bananas, and plantains? How to evaluate?
