Plantains grow in many regions: India, Africa, Egypt, and tropical regions of North and South America. This fruit-which is in the same family as bananas, but traditionally cooked rather than eaten raw because of its higher starch content and thicker skin-flourishes best in hot and humid tropical climates, and are indigenous to this region in Southeast Asia.
