Tostones or patacones, twice-fried slices of green plantain, and maduros or tajadas, fried ripe plantains, are popular in Latin American and Caribbean countries.
And Puerto Ricans love mofongo, mashed, pan-fried green plantains mixed with garlic and pork rinds or chicharrones.
These are very greasy, because "plantains absorb a lot of the fat from the oil that you’re frying them with," Ferrari says.
"Although a tasty cultural experience, fried preparations and those with added sugars should not be consumed frequently," says Michelle Schelske-Santos, PhD, professor of the Nutrition and Dietetics Program at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras.
They add calories that may result in weight gain or obesity, and have metabolic effects that increase the risk of developing chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
