Plantine looks like big banana and it has very thick skin.  Usually it's around $0.79/lb.  Very popular with South American dishes, usually served with rice.  Chinese supermarket called it "黑人蕉“

The best one I like is the black ones.  They look very ugly, but the black color indicates that they're ripened.  The taste is on the sweet side, and soft.  These ones are good when pan-fry.  The green ones are raw, they need to be baked and usually with cheese.  The taste is quite plain and hard.

I don't like the green plantine, never cooked it before.
