What do you mean zero cleanup? Now I have to carry around a banana peel all day. All hail apples (yes, I eat the core).
They tend to go extinct every so often and need a different variety to replace them.
Look up the history of the banana trade.
Banana smell is so powerful if you leave a banana in the fridge over night any unprotected food will taste like a banana
What if I hire a bodyguard for the banana?
A feature not a bug
I like how the person is placing a banana to show scale/size.
Bad thing: banana Republic. Other than that... 100% legit.
The monopoly that supplies most bananas to the "western" world has long been known to be a murderous corrupt corp? That's the one major drawback to that chewy sweet banana fiber.
That isn’t bananas fault though.
yeah guys im not a part of that whole movement
The trick is to get the green/light green bananas as they begin to ripen. Buying yellow to slightly darker yellow bananas will shorten their shelf life tremendously.
I'm not a fan of freezing them as they'll still continue to ripen. Your best case scenario if you start seeing them browning out is to make some banana bread or mix it in cupcake/cake mix.
Or stick it up your butt.
Banana milkshake is where all the dark bananas go for me.
History of banana and why it's cheap.

Easy. The taste and the texture. Awful.
The taste isn't that bad, but on its own, I'd give the common yellow bananas a "Meh, but not worth that texture" for taste. I'm actually fine with them in other foods, like, I can eat illness-inducing quantities of banana bread. It's just that the most commonly sold bananas have a texture that in other fruits would probably indicate it's rotten. I've tried giving them another chance several times, but as soon as I take a bite, it makes me start gagging.
I've found the odd variety here and there that were actually better in both regards, though. I remember the grocery store briefly had these little red bananas, about half the size of a yellow one, and I tried it on a whim. Those actually tasted good, and the fruit was firm enough to seem like it was something a person was actually meant to eat.
I assume the common, yellow bananas are just bred to be big, produce lots of fruit and have a consistent flavor, even if it's not a very good one compared to other bananas.
I have some bad news about bananas. The current strain we use as food is going extinct as the banana trees are ill and dying out. Luckily we're already changing a different strain to be ready for consumption (making them bigger and without seeds because yes, wild bananas are full of seeds).
Also cocoa plants are ill and dying and we don't have a different strain. So some time in the future we will be without chocolate.
or using different species, like blue or red ones instead. wild ones have huge seeds.
It's also not the first time it's happened to bananas. You know how banana candy tastes so different to the real thing. That's how the previous commercial strain used to taste before it was nearly exticted by disease.
It's radioaktiv
