Plantains are a good source of vitamins C and A, and like bananas they are an excellent source of potassium. While they are relatively high in calories (about 200 per plantain, with 28 grams of sugar), half a plantain makes for a very satisfying dessert. Feel free to top the plantain with chocolate chips and marshmallows for a slumber party.
