Jamaican Cookery

Horse plantain is a starchy plantain that is popular in Jamaica and other Caribbean countries. It is named for its large size and long, slender shape, which is similar to a horse's neck. Horse plantain is a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins A and C. It can be eaten at any stage of ripeness, but it is most commonly eaten when it is mature and has a yellow or orange peel. It can be boiled, fried, baked, or roasted.
