Ripe Plantains - Nature's sweet goodness. These big bananas are a delicious side to steak, rice and beans. Or enjoy their naturally caramelized sweetness as a dessert.
Tostones - Add a pinch of salt and savor. Crunchy plantain tostones are similar in texture to potatoes, but with a tropical twist. Pair with seafood and meat, or enjoy them topped with Mexican salsa for a south of the border appetizer sensation
Yuca Fries - Fry it, boil it, mash it! Yuca (also known as cassava) is versatile and delicious. Enjoy these golden fries dipped in sour cream or ketchup. Or boil and add garlic and olive oil for a Caribbean twist.
Plantain Toston Cups - Fry, fill and serve. Fill with Mexican carnitas, chopped sautéed shrimp or an avocado dip for an amazing appetizer.
Boniato - Delicate and mildly sweet. This lighter version of the common sweet potato is versatile, paring well with seafood, poultry and other meats.
MIC Food Mission Statment
Our mission is to challenge the food industry to embrace tropical products that offer consumers new tastes, excellent nutrition and versatile preparation. Our goal is to introduce natural food products that break away from the ordinary. And deliver extraordinary new flavors.
A quick guide to tropical foods and Latin-Caribbean flavors
It all started with the humble plantain from the same family as the "dessert" banana we all know from our brown bag lunches. Plantains are a nutritious staple food in many tropical regions of the world, so it's only natural that increased immigration from those regions has brought the plantain and other tropical foods into a fusion of mainstream cuisines everywhere. Celebrity TV chefs have helped popularize plantains with recipes packed with Latin-Caribbean flavors as have major food companies that are using them in popular frozen dinner entrees. MIC Food products are harvested at their peak of goodness and quick frozen to preserve their freshness, so all may enjoy made-from-scratch flavor. Thanks to the pioneering spirit of MIC Food, plantain imports have grown many fold. Along with yuca, boniato, pineapple and other tropical ingredients in the frozen ready-to-use MIC Food product line, the flavor of paradise can be savored anywhere in the world.
