PLANTAIN – BENEFITS

 

Flourishing Farms

Plantain is a major food staple in Africa. It is usually cooked before being eaten. The cooking methods include boiling, frying, baking, roasting. Plantains can be eaten at different level of ripeness, from when it is green to when it is yellow.

Plantain is a nutritious food item with many potential health benefits, which will be explained extensively.

• 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀

They are extraordinarily rich sources of carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and more importantly, are easily digestible. Plantains have served as sources of main meals for several years.

• 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵

Plantains are a good source of fibre. Fibre is important because it promotes bowel regularity. Eating a high-fibre diet could also help reduce risk of haemorrhoids. Fibre also increases fullness, slows digestion, and could help manage cholesterol.

 • 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴

The fibre and starch found in plantains are complex carbs. Complex carbs are less processed and more slowly digested than the simple carbs found in processed foods, hence they keep you fuller and more satisfied for a very long time after eating, and this translates to less snacking on unhealthy meals or junks.

Important to note is that Plantains are high in carbs, so if a person is trying to manage their weight, they should be aware of portion size. Also, it is very much preferable to bake or boil plantains rather than frying them.

It is important to stat clearly that eating plantains in moderation can greatly contribute to a very healthy diet, as they contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre.

 • 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁

The high amount of potassium found in plantains is required for maintaining the cell and body fluids that control the heart's rate and blood pressure.

The fibre in plantains also helps reduce cholesterol, which in turn keeps the heart functioning at its finest.

The benefits of Plantain are quite inexhaustible, but more shall be touched going forward. Ensure to eat Plantain regularly: Text from the roots, Elisabeth Ferkonia (Aus.) PDC studied with Bill Mollison.

Lesson 1.0 INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE

  FOOD FOREST COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY Lesson 1.0  INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE As the world celebrates International Day of Forests on 21st March, one avenue to explore is the role that food forests can play in providing a rich source of nutrition for humans while enhancing biodiversity and nourishing the  soil . Forests are some of the most  productive , biodiverse and self-sustaining ecosystems on earth. Yet, deforestation, an indicator measured by the  Food Sustainability Index , destroys these rich centres of life at a rate of  10 m hectares per year . Driven by demand for monoculture crops such as  soya  (primarily for livestock feed) and  palm oil  (a widely used ingredient in food-processing and cosmetics), deforestation presents a major problem for forest ecosystems. But what if forests and food production could be reconciled in a novel way? Food forests may be the answer. Human-designed  food forests ...
