Boiled green bananas is an extremely popular dish in Jamaica and other Caribbean islands. In these countries, bananas are very easy to grow, are inexpensive, full of fibre, nutritious and tasty especially when served with butter and salt. Boiled in salted water they are eaten as a side dish with salted cod, chicken or other meat dishes. They can be boiled two ways, with the skin or after removing the skin, the latter being the most convenient since the skin is easily reomoved after boiling. A number of web sites offer more information on how to prepare and cook.
