About this listen

Recognised as one of the most beloved fruits of the Black diaspora, plantain holds profound value within the cultures and communities it is part of. A Quick Ting on Plantain is a cultural insight into the versatile fruit.

Through exploring the sentimental meaning plantain has within Black households and cultures alike, this book reveals how food within the Black community is an intimate marker of identity and culture.

This concise and insightful book traces the international history of plantain, as well as delving into the contemporary issues surrounding the fruit―such as inflation, gentrification and its social media community.

A Quick Ting on Plantain is a celebratory look at the intersection of food, people and culture.

I stumbled across this audiobook as a fellow plantain lover and enthusiast, and it didn't disappoint. I loved the light-hearted nature of the book combined with detailed research that uncovers the social-political history of a fruit connecting a multitude of cultures and lands. It's a great ode to plantains, and even better, the narration by the actual author adds a personal touch that makes the experience all the more engaging. Five stars!

Well researched and entertaining book!
