They really are. More starchy, better if you cook them. Don’t get me wrong, bananas are delicious, but man are they sugar/carb heavy. Only time I eat em now is when it’s a Friday, I’ve had some beers, my diet died 2 hours ago, I have no shame, a jar of peanut butter, and there just so happens to be someone else’s uneaten bananas on the counter about to go bad… I know this sound really specific, but it’s not an uncommon occurrence.
Thesis: bananas
Antithesis: potatoes
Synthesis: plantains
That’s fair. Plantains have about 50% more potassium than bananas which is also around 50-60% less than a potato. Lmao
I always saw plantains as potato-like bananas.
