Ripe plantains  or Plátano Maduro look like large, over-ripened, yellow bananas. The skin becomes heavily spotted, almost completely black. This is when they are sweet and delicious and ready to eat.

    Never bought these ones but want to try, can I buy the green ones and then just have them at home until they are ripe, like normal bananas?
