Sweet Plaintains - allowed or not?

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone-

I was wondering if anyone knows about plaintains. I would imagine

that the rules are like for bananas - the green ones definitely not

allowed...but what about very ripe plaintains? I've combed my BTVC

book but can't find the answer.

Thanks,

I don't know the difference between sweet vs. not sweet, but BTVC

site says plantains have too much starch so they are illegal. Check

s.htm

Best to you.

Hi ,

I'm sorry I'm not much of a participant. But thought I'd comment about my

experience with plantains.

I love these and when first on the diet didn't touch them as it wasn't

mentioned in the book. I later found a long time ago on the what used to be the

SCD Digest that it was OK, but turth is it was never rather clear.

I started making these, cuban style which I love - sliced deep fried, flatened

and fried once again. With salt they don't last 2 minutes in my house!

It's a luxury here in Spain (imported) and we only have them on very special

occassions. I eat the equivilence of a whole one all by myself!

Recently I just looked at the listing again on food the the SCD Site which is

now more organized as when I had originally started out, and it clearly says NO.

I hate to give these up. My experience was that they had never hurt me.

Of course they never were part of my daily diet because mainly because they

are quite expensive. So if they are considered ILLEGAL, ah - what a

dillema......do I now have to eliminate them?

Anyone else with any similar experience to this food or other?
