What is Yellow plantain?
Yellow plantain is a starchy cooking banana, larger and firmer than a dessert banana, harvested at the ripe yellow stage with some black spotting. At this point the flesh is sweeter and softer than green plantain but still holds its shape when cooked.
A staple across NYC's Caribbean and Latin kitchens: sliced thick and pan-fried into sweet maduros (Dominican, Puerto Rican, Cuban plates), griddled alongside mangu and mofongo, served with rice and beans, or baked. Also turns up in West African and South American spots around the city.

What's behind the price
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 yellow plantain can shift week to week.
The yearlong trend has been easing (up about 9% 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 by the 50 lb case. For maduros you want fully yellow with heavy black spotting and a little give; rock-hard yellow plantains are still underripe. Hold at room temp to ripen further, refrigerate only once they hit the color you want.
