Questions about plantain

Four questions chosen by the facts above, so every food answers differently.

How many calories are in a portion of plantain?

A typical portion (80 g, one of your five a day) gives 214 kcal. Per 100 g the figure is 267 kcal.

Is plantain high in vitamin B6?

Yes. Plantain, ripe, fried in rapeseed oil has 1 mg vitamin B6 per 100 g, 71 % of the NRV, above the 30 % threshold for a “high in” claim.

Which vitamins and minerals does plantain have most of?

By share of the daily reference intake: vitamin B6 (1 mg, 71 %), potassium (610 mg, 31 %) and copper (0.2 mg, 20 %) per 100 g.

Is plantain high in salt?

No. Salt is 0.01 g per 100 g, which is very low under UK rules.

How these numbers were made

Every figure comes from the UK Composition of Foods Integrated Dataset (CoFID), 2021 edition, record 13-569, Plantain, ripe, fried in rapeseed oil, 8 analysed samples, published by Public Health England under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Main data references: Vegetables, Herbs and Spices Supplement, 1991. Vitamin K1 from Bolton-Smith et al Br.J.Nutr. 83, 2000.. Values are per 100 g of the edible part; a portion is 80 g, one of your five a day, the usual UK portion for vegetables. Reference intakes follow Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 Annex XIII as retained in GB law; “source of”, “high in” and “low” follow Regulation (EC) 1924/2006, assessed per 100 g. Function lines are the authorised wording from the GB register of nutrition and health claims, credited to the nutrient. Energy is rounded to the whole kcal and kJ; other amounts to one decimal, or two below 1. A trace is shown as “trace” and never gets a figure or a badge; a nutrient never analysed is left off the page. We start from the dataset’s 2,887 records and keep 2,322: records weighed with bone, shell or skin, alcoholic drinks, infant foods, brand-named products, records with fewer than eight measured vitamins and minerals and near-identical variants are left out. Group context uses the 240 vegetables kept from the dataset; a rank counts only the foods with a measured figure for that nutrient. Food images are illustrations from Ingredient Atlas, released under CC0; they show the food, not the measured sample, and where no illustration of the exact food exists the nearest one is shown (here: Green Plantain).
