Plantain Price in Guatemala 2026

Plantains are a staple food in Guatemala, distinct from sweet bananas and always cooked before eating. Green plantains are sliced and fried to make tostones (twice-fried chips). Ripe plantains are fried sweet (platanos fritos) or made into rellenitos (stuffed with sweetened black beans). They are also boiled and served as a starch alongside meals, especially in coastal regions.
