How many of us know about plantain? Probably most of us Filipinos don’t know about plantain. But quite ironically, this is the very staple food that some of us eat as a substitute to rice.
Yes, plantain is a type of banana that we use for cooking. To most Filipinos, we call the cooking type of banana as saba and indeed in Filipino lexicon, there’s no other term for the cooking banana but saba.
In Cebu, we have two types of plantain that we commonly grow in our farm and in our backyard. These are the sab-a and cardaba.
