A year back one could buy a good branch of green plantains for about 200rd on the roadside in the Cibao. It therefore seems inconceivable that those same farmers will be selling that branch now for close on 1000 pesos and makes me think the middlemen are taking a big cut exploiting the drought at a time when transport costs should have dropped.
Would be interesting to hear of anybody buying a branch at roadside and the cost.
That would be 30 pesos a pound.Are platanos really 30 pesos each ???
Still calling them "plantains"? Obviously not aplatonado yet.:classic:Plantains are in the $20 range at Bravo
jose luis in POP sells platanos at 20 pesos. my workers' reports vary between 10 and 17 pesos. this weekend we plan to buy a razimo from platano truck, i will report the cost.
POP will be a bit fcuked too, few days ago we had a tornado in the area and what was not destroyed by drought got finished off by strong winds. it's a good time to buy razimo or two. i always have my maid peel and cut them and off to the freezer they go.
EVAthere is a dominican company making flour from platanos, garbanzos, batatas and yuca. you can find it in health food section. expensive thou because the bags are very small. i would love to start cooking/baking with those but i don't know any recipes.
