What is Green plantain?
Unripe, starchy plantains — firm, green and not sweet, used as a savory starch much like a potato. A staple across NYC's Caribbean, Dominican, Puerto Rican and West African kitchens.
Twice-fried for tostones, fried into chips, boiled for mangú and mofongo, or simmered in stews and sancocho. Cooked savory, never eaten raw or used as a dessert banana.

Why the number moves
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on green plantain can shift week to week.
The yearlong trend has been easing (up about 43% over the last month). Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Buy them hard and fully green for savory, starchy use; the more yellow or black they turn, the sweeter and softer they get. Green plantains hold at room temperature for a week-plus — store cool, not refrigerated.
