Banana, produced by the herbaceous flowering plants of the "Musa" genus.. delicious and cheap! One of the best fruits in my opinion.
I've never tried one! I've seen them in the stores though - where are they grown?
The "musa" species of bananas, some of the most popular ones, came from tropical Indomalaya and Australia, but first thought to come from Papua New Guinea. However, today they're grown in 135 different countries!
Wow, I had no idea they were grown in so many countries!  Do you just peel them and eat them, or do you use them in a recipe?
That's what's great about them, is their ease of use. You just peel them, and even if they go bad or become too ripe, you can use them in recipes for baking, like banana pudding. They have different sizes, colors, firmness, but are usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh.
What kind of nutrition do they provide?
They provide limited protein, but with lots of carbohydrates and natural sugars, at a lower calorie count. You can eat them raw, or cook them, as there are many cultural dishes that revolve around bananas and plantains.
They sound awesome!  I'm going to buy some bananas today!
