1 So a healthy 65-pound Labrador Retriever should be drinking between about 33 and 65 ounces, or about Â¼ to Â½ gallon of water daily.  If your dog is eating a moisture-rich, species-appropriate diet, sheâs getting some of her water needs met with each meal, so she may not drink as much from her water bowl.
Plantains are a nutritious source of carbohydrates. Plantains are in the same family as bananas. They look similar, but they are starchier and are usually only eaten cooked. Plantains can be used when green, yellow or so ripe that their skins are black. Green and yellow plantains are used as vegetables, similar to the way you would use a potato, and very ripe plantains can be used in desserts.
Many people confuse plantains with bananas, some of the differences are noted above. Although they look a lot like green bananas and are a close relative, plantains are very different. They are starchy, not sweet, and they are used as a vegetable in many recipes, especially in Latin America and Africa.
