Frozen Plantain Sourcing & Documentation

Fresh plantains have to be ripened, peeled and cut by hand, and ripeness is hard to control from one case to the next. Frozen plantains arrive peeled, cut and at the right stage, green for tostones or ripe and sweet for maduros, so every batch cooks the same way.

Every order is backed by the paperwork your QA team asks for. Product-specific COAs, allergen statements and facility audit documentation are available on request, and certified organic formats are available too.

Frozen Plantain FAQs

What frozen plantain formats do you supply?

Frozen maduros, frozen tostones, IQF ripe plantain slices and IQF green plantain chunks. Custom cuts, pack formats and private label are available on request.

What is the difference between maduros and tostones?

Maduros are made from ripe plantains and are soft and sweet when cooked. Tostones are made from green plantains that are fried, flattened and fried again, which makes them crisp and savory, similar to a thick chip.

Which frozen plantain format should I use?

Use maduros for sweet side dishes with rice, beans and meats, and for breakfast and dessert plates. Use tostones for appetizers and savory sides. Use ripe slices when you want to cook and portion plantains your own way. Use green chunks for soups, stews and mashed plantain dishes.

Can frozen plantains be cooked from frozen?

Yes. Maduros, tostones and slices can go straight from the freezer into the fryer or oven, which saves thawing time and keeps their shape. Follow the cooking directions on the spec sheet for each format.

How should frozen plantains be stored?

Keep frozen plantains at 0°F (-18°C) or colder. Reseal opened cases to prevent freezer burn, and do not refreeze product once it has thawed.

Yes. Certified organic formats are available on request.
