While you should limit added sugars, you don't need to limit sugars naturally found in foods, including fruits like plantains. Plantains are low in sugar compared to bananas, but as they get riper, their sugar content increases and their starch content decreases.
The delicious sweet plantains and avocado mix the sweetness of the fruit with a strong bite of garlic and a dash of onion for a unique taste that you’re going to love.
Fiber slows digestion, helping you feel full for longer and slowing the release of sugars into the bloodstream. The 4 grams of fiber in a 1-cup serving of sliced plantains provides you with 14 percent of the daily value for this essential nutrient.
