My plantain flour journey starts the first time I tried plantain flour at a family member's house. Being a foodie family, they explored many different foods. I was amazed at how versatile and tasty this new flour was. When I researched the health benefits, I couldn't believe that it wasn't on the shelves of my local health food store. I had never heard of this flour before. As I tried plantain flour biscuits, cookies, and pancakes I fell in love with plantain and wanted it as a regular kitchen pantry item stocked on my shelves. This started my mission to find a good quality plantain farm that could supply me with great tasting plantain flour. I wanted the plantain to be grown in rich mineral soils, so I was picky when approached by some companies. It was a long frustrating search as these cultures that harvest plantain from the tropical regions are not as "fast paced" and technology isn't at their fingertips like here in the US. I wanted to give up, but every time I tried to do so, another door would open. Well, this project was easier to dream up than execute. It took me 2 years to find that farm! I am so happy to finally be doing business with the amazing people and farmers I knew I would find. They are the true heroes of POW!
