Plantains are grown all year on the farms of southern Togo and the Plateaux region, often in the shade of cocoa and coffee trees. Larger and starchier than dessert bananas, they are always cooked: fried into alloco and kelewele, boiled, grilled, or pounded into foutou with cassava, and across the Caribbean they become tostones and sweet fried plantains.
We harvest them green and firm, so they can be cooked green and starchy or left to ripen yellow and sweet, depending on the recipe.
How we supply them:
- Bunches (hands) of about 2 kg, 2.5 kg and 3 kg.
- Three lot formats: basket (20 kg), crate (50 kg) and pallet (200 kg), with protective liners.
- Shipped green by refrigerated container at 13–15 °C. Colder storage would damage the fruit.
Every lot is traceable to the farm.
