Preferred is 7, 8 or 9 but I’ll eat up to 12. 13-15 is smoothie territory. 1-4 is not edible. 5-6 is emergency food. https://twitter.com/BlairImani/status/1265029074302296065 …
Mush is actually one good way to cook plantains... but the ones available in US stores are typically already too ripe. Only thing you can really do with them is make tostones... double fried with squashing in-between. If you really want to cook with them you need much more unripe

You can find real unripe ones in indian grocery stores. They make unbelievably good chips (which I prefer to potato if done right).... and I don't mean the slightly sweet kind you can buy in regular grocery stores. You can also make equivalents of hash browns, mashed potatoes etc

Tostones are a good first expeirment with plantains. Slice them, shallow fry them on a pan in a single layer, take them off the heat and dry between paper towels and then smash them. Then fry them again. You can do so long as it's at least a little raw.
