Plantains and bananas are both berries, which are a subclassification of fruit that have a fleshy soft interior that contain seeds. :) 🍌

[@ryokohonda4619]

So plantains is a type of banana?

[@randallclement7000]

Yes it is.

[@Mugen_YG]

More like a very close cousin to the banana
Think oranges and grapefruit

[@pmathewizard]

The clade of "bananas" contains plantains.

@@Mugen_YG Yeah, but the bagged chips we usually have, even the unsalted ones, don't really have the usually strong banana flavour and smell, which made me think like: is this really banana?????
