Apart from the food cooked from plantain, is there any other benefit the plantain tree is to you? That may be so dependent on where you belong to. Here in Ghana the plantain has many other benefits derived from it apart from the food it gives us.

If you belong to West Africa especially Ghana you would notice so well that the plantain comes with so many different varities . Each varity had a distinctive taste and nutritional benefit which people are in for. The many other other things the plantain tree offers is the health support. Its medicinal usage is so significant in the lives of many people.

However, it has some domestic usage as well. The dry falling leaves are used to wrap food and other items. Certain tribes in Ghana love eating from the leaves which serves as improvise dish or bowl.
