No, plaintains are much starchier than bananas.... usually they are sliced thinly and fried, then sprinkled w saltt, or cinnamon-sugar.

No, if you eat a raw plantain chances are you'll get sick to your stomach. It may not be the healthiest way but cutting them up in slices and squishing them with the back of a spoon, and frying them to a golden color is the best way.

Noooooo. Plantains are to be cooked, usually served warm, with jamacian or spanish foods.

Plantains are usually fried and are a bit sweeter then bananas.

Think of plaintains like potatoes. You need to cook them first. They are also called Tostones (plaintains)

No, you fry it in oil and serve it with crema, thinned down sour cream.
