Performance Foodservice proudly presents Contigo® Tostones and Plantains. These new items are widely used in many Puerto Rican, Indian and Caribbean dishes and often considered as the most popular ingredient in Cuban cuisine.

About Contigo Tostones

Contigo Tostones are made exclusively from the rare “Hawaiian style Plantain,” the world’s best cooking banana. The raw Plantain is peeled, sliced lengthwise, diagonally, or widthwise, and then fried twice, individually quick frozen and bagged. Afterwards, they are pounded flat (or smashed) to provide larger plate coverage. The flattened plantain slices are then fried once again until they are crisp and golden brown. When served they might be topped with salt and eaten like a chip or served warm and topped with sauce, paste or black beans.

About Contigo Plantains

Contigo Plantains are made exclusively from the rare “Hawaiian style Plantain,” the world’s best cooking banana. Sweet Fried Maduro Plantains are once-fried plantain slices. Maduros in Spanish means “ripe.” As the plantains ripen it becomes sweeter and its color changes from green to yellow to black, just like a banana. When the outer skin turns completely black and the inside turns deep yellow and soft, it’s at its sweetest.

They are picked at their peak, sliced on the diagonal and deep fried, packed in IQF slices and bagged. Plantains make an ordinary breakfast a special sweet tangy treat. Plantains can also be served as a dessert by adding a scoop of ice-cream, topped with a butter sauce. They are also commonly served on the side with an entrée or lunch.
