Chiquita bananas are Grand Nain. Let it sit for a while and it will turn yellow and ripen.

Yep, looks like a Gran Nain. Pretty much a rip-off if you ask me. If one wants to cook with a Plantain, one should be able to get a true Plantain.

Green Bananas are not a "rip-off" in PR, they are in fact the most economical of all bananas.

It is sold as a green banana not a plantain and the price is about half that of a ripe banana.

If one wants to cook with a green banana, one should be able to get a true green banana.

My apologies, I misread the "not a plantain" part.
