You could find a number of ways on the web about cooking a ripe plantain. Today, we are showing you two healthy ways to cook and enjoy a ripe plantain. Yes, there is no extra or much effort to enjoy a healthy cooked ripe plantains.

So these are the two methods to a nice and healthy cooked ripe plantain. Microwaving is the easiest method to cook a ripe plantain.

Just take care of some important things while microwaving. You should cut both ends of the plantain or cut them in halves before microwaving. Otherwise there is a chance for the plantains to burst and splash inside the microwave making it a big mess. Also cover the bowl with a lid, but loosely.

Sometimes the plantains may pour out of the peel, if you over-cook, but that is expected. This will never change the taste of a cooked ripe plantain. They may feel mushy immediately after cooking if over-ripe or over-cooked, but will become ok when it cools. Steam cooking makes a perfectly cooked ripe plantain without the pouring of the pulp on both ends. The steam from the boiling water slowly cooks the yellow plantains.

But do you know the sweetness of the perfectly ripe plantain intensifies when cooked? The science behind this increased sweetness is like this as far as I know. Fruits like plantains usually store sugar in the form of complex starch during its initial growing stages.

During the ripening stage, a host of enzymes breakdown this complex starch molecules into simple sugar molecules. A single trigger can activate these enzymes into action and heat is one such trigger. Heating speeds up the enzymes to breakdown any remaining starch molecules into sugar molecules which makes the cooked plantain taste sweeter. So if you have never tried a cooked ripe plantain, then you are definitely in for a great treat, trust me on this.
