Anyone know where to buy plantains in Auckland?

Been to heaps of fruit and veg shops and half of them don't even know what they are! Anyone had any luck finding them!

Have seen them at Countdown here at Mt Maunganui, would have thought they would be popular in South Auckland.

The greengrocers in Grey Lynn usually have plaintains, and most greengrocers in South Auckland will have them.Mangere Town Centre would be a useful place to start.

Out in West Auckland too in Mt Albert but not sure if they still sell there. Any polynesian shop would have it if they are in season.

Great thanks guys! Have tried the green grocers in Grey Lynn but no luck so might have to head south by the sounds of it.

Paulac, you can get them at the Avondale markets.

Also Countdown in Papakura has them in but not all the time.
