Re: Saba A Plantain ?
Does not answer your original question ... A tasty example of bananas going both ways - with apple banana (Brazilian to non-Hawaiians) - you can take a perfectly good ripe banana and nuke it and it turns into a delish cooked banana. For my size fruit (medium), 2 bananas on a paper plate, microwaved for 3 minutes is just right.
If you do this with a Chiquita (can't remember the timing) it also works, but not quite as good a flavor, and the banana loses far more of its volume.
Most people in Hawaii cook the Saba - very good, a lot like regular plantains.
