we have those planteins or what u called theim plantains in my store i always thought they were bananas on steroids :P! im gonna check the price and buy them :D do they taste the same as bananas?

[ck1nsh]

@DarlingKaya so so so good, they taste like marshmallow Banana's n need be really ripe like that. I prefer my banana's with some texture/not as soft :)

[DarlingKaya]

[rainbowsalads]

aahh plantain , that's what i just bought from my 24/7, i thought it was called durian lol. just gotta wait for it to ripen, as it is green : )

[ck1nsh]

@rainbowsalads haha indeed, will have to wait a good while, they are slow to ripen, look below for handling ripening info!

[norxcontacts]

Hey Chris, how do you keep plantains from getting moldy?  It takes a while for them to be ripe.

[ck1nsh]

@norxcontacts the secret for plantains is to wash them regularly, scrubbing lightly and drying in the sun. You can also hang them individually and bring them in the sun for a time every day.

The guy loves his persimmons!!! I mean can you really blame him?!??! Awesome video bro, you got me hip to plantains and there basically my fave fruit ever now! Does eating fruit ever get old? I don't think so!!

[ck1nsh]

Chris - great video!! Hey I am a cyclist who went vegan 8 months ago - I have no issues being vegan - that I am always struggling with is going raw ... I live in a houshold w/ 2 small kids and a wife who are not vegan .... I keep eating too much starches and cooked foods - helathy - but its not helping me get the additional weight off . any suggestions ?

@bahlarshad1 Kudos Bradah!! Thats Awesome!

The Raw food Acronym will help you out "KISS" Keep it simple sugar's. Eat all the fruit you want, simpler meals are better, mono meals best. If you still plan some cooked, have fruit all day then a simple low fat cooked vegan meal at night. The clinch is keeping it all low fat, high fruit.

[ck1nsh]

[bethkahn89]

[ck1nsh]

[bethkahn89]

[TheBigheart82]

I wasnt aware you could eat a plantain raw. I thought it would be toxic. I am currently trying to transition slowly to a raw lifestyle. This was informative.

[jeffanie1984]

[HELENationdotcom]
