How do you store plantain? I don't want them to ripen too quickly. Thanks

Hello there several ways...depending on what you are cooking you could start the cooking process and then freeze them. I;É fried plantains, mashed plantains... But to keep them green I usually keep them out for like a day or two then put them in the fridge to shock them and then leave them out again. But which/however you decide to go just know you prolly have a maximum time of maybe a week. Before the start to begin ripening or worst going black and damaging. Good luck! Also know that these came with the stem part clipped which already makes it harder to keep for longer

Are these fresh and large sizes?

Yes fresh but Medium/ small in size

Lovely and green

Though they were priced rather high, I am just grateful that these are even available through Amazon, as I am unable to shop for them on foot. They were very green – just as I'd hoped – and they've made a lot of lovely tostones – some of which I have frozen. But once they're all gone, I will be back here!

Keeps a long time before ripening

Still waiting for the plantain skins to turn black 3 months after delivery. Have started to turn black but not quite ready.

Went from green to black

The first time I ordered this product it was great - the green plantain, after a week or so turned just slightly yellow, which was perfect: I like 'turn' plantain.However, this last order was stubbornly hard and green. After a few days I tried one, it was exceptionally difficult to peel and had started to turn a little black. After another week there was no yellow but a lot more black.Summed up - you win some you lose some; on this occasion I lost. Might/might not try again
