The pulp of green plantain is typically hard, with the peel often so stiff that it must be cut with a knife to be removed. [10] Mature, yellow plantains can be peeled like typical dessert bananas; the pulp is softer than in immature, green fruit and some of the starch has been converted to sugar.

Banana flour is generally produced with green bananas that are peeled, chopped, dried, and then ground. [5] This process can be completed traditionally by hand, where the bananas are sun dried, dried in an oven, or a residential food dryer, and then either ground in a mortar and pestle or with a mechanical grinder.
