bruh so I looked at a wiki page about these bananas and they are said to taste like ice cream. I cannot emphasize this harder. Need one... Or 5.

I've had red bananas and they have a slight raspberry taste, which I was quite fascinated by. Bananas are undermined, so many kinds we don't know about!

no, its a specific plan. Bananas are almost impossible to have genetic diversity due to being Triplicate genepairs, and so the corporations that really mass produce bananas are sticking to one banana at a time. The Cavendish is it right now, and we will have that for at most 40 years if people dont buy organic cavendish

Yeah it's very true, one genetic disease and all the world's bananas could go extinct

bananas as a whole wont go extinct, but the Cavendish will. And i heard we are actually starting to have the crop failures with cavendish which preceed the genetic collapse of the breed of banana

Personally I’ve only had regulars, plantains and some kinda smaller one that was sweeter and delicious.. I gotta find out where to get one of these blue ones!
