There are two primary varieties of plantains: French and horn. The main differences center on how each variety grows and in the fruit bunches they produce. French plantains yield big bunches with lots of fruits or fingers, while horn plantain bunches are much smaller with fewer fruits. Each variety has a different starch content, which results in different types of processed products.

Plantain does not have a taste similar to the common dessert banana and is not eaten raw. Unripe plantains can have a green or a yellow color depending on the variety, are difficult to peel, and have bland and starchy fruits, much like yuca roots or potatoes.
