Learn the difference between bananas and plantains!

In Costa Rica, we have two types of bananas:

1) Banana, yellow, eaten uncooked, alone, with other fruits or cereal (English banana)

2) Banana, ripe or green. The ripe plantain is fried or baked with sugar, cinnamon, cheese, sour cream and butter, delicious!. Green can be minced, in ceviche or tostones (fried plantains).
