I saw this big guy when I was buying a new toothbrush (cause I lost mine during the road trip). It looks just like a banana, only twice the size. I was looking up some facts about these giant brothers of the banana and I was told that I could eat the plantains raw if I wanted to, but its recommended to use it in your cooking to get a better taste. I quickly found out why they usually don't eat these things raw, they aren't very good. They are a lot less sweet then the banana and it had a sort of raw potato-ish flavor to it which wasn't good at all. I couldn't make it through the entire plantain (I'm telling ya, this thing was huge) but I ate enough to learn that they aren't on my favorites list.
