Banana

Comments

 
Picture
Elongated curved fruit with  thick yellowish to reddish or even purple skin and white, aromatic, seedless pulp.  Usually referrs to sweet dessert bananas
Almost all modern cultivated varieties
of edible bananas and plantains are descendants of  of two wild, seeded banana species, Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. Cultivated bananas are almost always seedless (parthenocarpic) and hence sterile, so they are propagated vegetatively. Cultivars derived from Musa acuminata are more likely to be used as dessert bananas, while those derived from Musa balbisiana and hybrids of the two are usually plantains or cooking bananas.
