Message: <blockquote data-quote="nomoredonuts" data-source="post: 1315298" data-attributes="member: 271833">I was lurking round an Asian grocer's in Aylesbury last week and I found some plantain. Now since I don't eat bananas much any more, I wondered if these might be less sugary. In the past I have boiled them in their skins, then served them in hearty chunks on the edge of a curry. Because I wanted to up the fat content to offset the likely sugar, I fried raw slices in olive oil for a couple of minutes on each side. My portion was 125g, (which Carbs and Cals estimate at 60g carbs), and I ate it with a large avocado and mayo.Put your hand up if you think my blood sugar levels went up after 2 hours...</blockquote>
