Platano burro, also known as plantain burro or “baby plantain,” is a distinctive variety of plantain characterized by its small size and rich, buttery flavor. Unlike traditional plantains, which are larger and have a more starchy texture, platano burro has a creamy texture and a sweet, almost nutty taste when cooked. This versatile fruit is a staple in Latin American and Caribbean cuisines.
