Plantain Crumbs Soup Mix 3 oz Pack of 3

Plantain crumbs are the shortcut to sopa de plátano — the pale, earthy soup that shows up when someone in the family is recovering from a cold or eating light. Dried green plantain, ground fine, ready to dissolve into broth.

This pack includes three 3 oz pouches. Stovetop preparation: whisk into simmering chicken or vegetable stock, season, and cook until thickened to a smooth, spoon-coating soup. Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and low in sodium — the seasoning is up to you.

Common Uses: sopa de plátano as a starter or light supper, thickening agent for hearty Caribbean soups and stews, base for crema de plátano with garlic and cumin, comfort food when someone is under the weather.

Cultural Context: Sopa de plátano sits in a quiet corner of the Cuban kitchen — not a centerpiece dish, but the one abuela makes when you say your stomach hurts, or when the weather turns and a heavier meal feels wrong. The dried-crumb format is how Cuban-American households keep the soup within reach without sourcing fresh green plantains, peeling, and grating from scratch.

Pairs With: good chicken stock, garlic, cumin, a finish of olive oil and lime; serve with Cuban crackers or a side of white rice for a more filling plate.

Ships nationwide — a pantry item Cuban families restock without thinking about it, and one that's surprisingly hard to find outside South Florida.
