Plantain

Our Plantain

MG&L offers Plantains as part of our commitment to promote healthy lifestyle and quality living. To add longevity to the lifestyle of our healthy families, MG&L sources the healthiest and most nutritious foods across the globe. Plantains are considered by many nutrition experts to be an excellent source of dietary fiber and energy. They are nutrient-rich and provide an excellent source of many essential vitamins.

Plantains have more vitamin C than bananas. Consumption of foods rich in vitamin-C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen- free radicals. Plantains have more vitamin A than bananas. In addition to being a powerful antioxidant, vitamin A plays a vital role in the visual cycle, maintaining healthy mucus membranes, and enhancing skin complexion. As in bananas, they too are rich sources of B-complex vitamins, particularly high in vitamin-B6 (pyridoxine). Pyridoxine is an important B-complex vitamin that has a beneficial role in the treatment of neuritis, anemia, and to decrease homocystine (one of the causative factors for coronary artery disease (CHD) and stroke episodes) levels in the body. Plantains also contain folates, niacin, riboflavin and thiamin. Folates (folic acid) are essential for healthy pregnancy. 

Finally, plantains have more potassium than bananas. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps control heart rate and blood pressure, countering negative effects of sodium. We monitor the logistics in the supply chain that delivers our plantains and we assure 100% compliant refrigerated trucks are delivered daily.
