Plantain is an amazing food source. At Solitude, especially in the summer when it is really hot, and we have a glut of plantain, we make flour.

Plantain is a great wheat substitute if you want to go gluten-free. This is truly something that anyone can do!

First, peel the plantains. Slice them into thin slices and dry them in the sun on a clean surface.

If it is very hot, like here in Tamil Nadu, the plantain slices will be dry within two days. Put them in a mixer, and the flour is ready!

The great thing about the flour, apart from the exceptional taste, is the fact that it can be stored.

With the flour, you can make anything from biscuits to pizza bases or add it to soups. Try it! This is easy to do!
