What is Yellow plantain?
Ripe plantains — yellow with black flecks, soft and sweet, the riper, sweeter stage of the green plantain. Still cooked, not eaten raw, and a staple across NYC's Latin, Caribbean and West African kitchens.
Fried into sweet maduros, baked or caramelized as a side, mashed, or simmered into stews and mole; the sweeter, softer counterpart to savory green-plantain tostones. The blacker the skin, the sweeter and softer.

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.
Across the year the trend has been up. 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.
Order to your timeline — buy them yellow-with-some-black for same-week maduros, or buy green and let them ripen on the counter for a few days. They ripen fast once yellow, so don't over-order; hold at cool room temp, never refrigerate.
