A member asked:
If im allergic to bananas can i eat plantains?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Banana allergy: Plantains are in the banana family. Although they are considered "starchier" and less sweet. As they are in the banana family, you would be considered allergic to the entire family of bananas. You are best to stay away from them to avoid any kind of allergic reaction.
