Has anyone one here tried fried green bananas. I just tried them for the first time today and they were quite amazing. When raw they are some type of totally inedible starch that tastes absolutely awful, I mean horrible to even touch a tiny bit on your tongue, but when sliced and fried they were almost exactly like potato chips!
The reason I tried them is that I've heard they are really high in resistant starch, a form which is actually good for diabetics. I've tested and they really don't spike my BGLs at all! I ate them with fried eggs for breakfast btw.
Also, these weren't the "plantain" type that apparently are sold like this for cooking, these were just normal green (unripe) bananas from the banana plants in my back yard.
Whoops, they were so nice that I ate them too quickly to even think to take a photo, so here is one I've lifted from the net. Mine weren't quite as nice and regularly shaped as these ones, but roughly similar looking, and I'm sure they tasted just as good.
