description: Plantains are very starchy, green, and not as sweet as bananas. The word plantain can describe a specific, weedy plant, but it's also used more loosely for any bananas or banana-type fruits that are cooked rather than eaten raw. Plantains are made into sweet drinks, chips, snacks, soups, dumplings, and many more dishes. Plantain comes from the Spanish plátano, "banana."
