What is Plantain Flour?

Plantain Flour is a fine, dry powder made from peeled, sliced, and sun-dried or mechanically dried unripe plantains (Musa paradisiaca). It is naturally gluten-free and rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, iron, potassium, and vitamin A.

This flour is a favorite among health-conscious consumers and is commonly used in making swallow, porridge, pancakes, and as a wheat alternative in various baking and cooking applications.
