  • Question
    Why haven't they ripened after all these tips after a month?
    Community Answer
    In order to eat a plantain, you must place it in boiling water to soften. Plantains are not like bananas; they do not just ripen.

  • Question
    My plantains don't get ripe at all, they just get dry like tree trunks. I come from a tropical country and that never happened over there. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    That is because they were picked too soon or got too cool at some point during shipping. Try to find some from a different source. Good plantains can be hard to find.
