    A plantain is a fruit, but also considered as a vegetable. The green plantains are starchy like potato.Medium ripe plantains are yellow or yellow with black dots, and they are slightly sweet. When the skins have turned almost black, the plantains are fully ripe, aromatic and sweet.

    Fruit. But green plaintains are more starchy than sweet, so most people would say they are eaten like a vegetable.

    It is actually an herb but is in the fruit group.
