    Exploring Colombia's Diverse Plantain and Banana Varieties

    Medellin, Colombia - A local resident and social media personality, known as 'lamijita', recently highlighted the rich diversity of plantains and bananas found in Colombia's markets. In a video filmed at a neighborhood fruit and vegetable stand, she showcased several varieties, explaining their distinct characteristics and culinary applications. Among the featured produce were the 'Plátano Maduro' (ripe plantain), commonly used for sweet slices, and the 'Plátano Verde' (green plantain), a staple for savory dishes such as sancocho (a traditional Colombian soup) and patacones (fried plantain patties). She also introduced the 'Guineo', a smaller, green banana specifically reserved for soups, noting its unique property of not being suitable if ripened. The 'Murrapo', a small, sweet banana also referred to as 'bocado de reina' (queen's bite), was presented, with 'lamijita' demonstrating its consumption. Additionally, she displayed the 'Banano Criollo', a local variety, and the 'Banano de Urabá', emphasizing its unique characteristic of often appearing as a double fruit, offering a 'buy one, get one free' appeal. The video provides an insightful look into Colombia's vibrant agricultural offerings.
