PIMUS Plantain FLour – 500g
Plantain Flour
NAFDAC Approved
Description
PIMUS Plantain Flour is a finely milled powder made from unripe green plantains that are peeled, sliced, dried, and ground into flour. What this really means is you are getting plantain in a more concentrated, shelf stable form, with a neutral, slightly earthy taste that works in both savory and sweet meals. It is naturally gluten free and commonly used as a substitute for wheat flour in foods like pancakes, bread, swallow (fufu), pastries, and even as a thickener for soups and sauces. Because it comes from green plantains, it carries more resistant starch compared to ripe plantains, which gives it a slower digestion profile and makes it popular in traditional African diets and modern healthy eating circles
Health Benefits
Plantain flour brings a solid mix of nutrients and functional advantages. It is rich in dietary fiber, which supports digestion, helps prevent constipation, and keeps you fuller for longer, which can assist with weight management. It also contains resistant starch that behaves like a prebiotic, feeding good gut bacteria and supporting a healthier digestive system. On top of that, it provides important micronutrients like potassium for heart and blood pressure support, vitamin B6 for brain and nerve function, and vitamin C for immune defense. Because of its low glycemic index, it releases energy more steadily, making it a better option for blood sugar control compared to refined flours
