Can these mini bananas be eaten raw?

My grand daughter LOVES bananas. Rick was at the store and found some mini-bananas. I was trying to remember what they’re called…Plantian or something. Starting looking around and found where a mom said her baby did fine with regular bananas, but when she gave her mini bananas her baby wound up with a rash on her chin. Then there was this comment about it on Yahoo answers:

“Those mini bananas are called plantains and they cannot be eaten raw. You have to cook them. They are usually used to make plantain or banana fritters and plantain chips. THis might be why your lo broke out.”

They’re SO CUTE and my granddaughter would just love them…but I really don’t want to kill her. Mom and Dad wouldn’t talk to me for a WEEK if I did that. :}~
