Hello…hope all is well. I train with Pedro Valente in Miami and would like to know what food group Plantains fall into. My parents were from Cuba, where plantains (both green and ripe) are cooked (generally fried in oil, baked etc.) and served with rice and beans. Please advise…thanks. Michael Luis

It is a type of banana, so if it is cooked it's OK with group A.
