The Horn Banana, also known as Plantain or Horn Plantain, is a large, starchy banana variety prized for its size, texture, and versatility. With its thick skin and firm flesh, this banana is ideal for cooking rather than eating raw. It ranges in color from green when unripe to deep yellow or black when fully ripe.
Popular in many tropical cuisines, horn bananas are typically fried, boiled, or roasted to bring out their rich, slightly sweet flavor. They are perfect for making banana chips, curries, or savory dishes like stir-fries and stews.
