Dried Plantains...with Pics!

Moved to potatohack.com!

8 plantains resulted in 600g of dry matter, or approximately 75g each.  Assuming a 55% RS content, each plantain yields approximately 45g of RS2. If you made them into eight 'crackers', each one will have about 5-6g of RS.  It's really easy to eat four, lol:

That's 20g of RS, ya'all!

Questions/comments?
