Bananas Are Not What You Think | The Shocking Truth 

They also have a different texture. I miss the "real" ones.

@@Graeme_Lastname You can still get them, just has to be from isolated farms. But Johnny Harris got some

There's actually 2 but one is mostly used in South America or by Hispanic people. It's called plantanos they taste horrible but some people like them.

Can you tell me how similar the taste of the Gros Michel banana is to the banana flavouring in lollies and such?

@@sleepwalking117 they're good of you fry them in oil with salt and press them with a fork or spoon. They're really good!

I agree

Coca Cola when they got rid of the cocaine

They were far superior.

Cane sugar Coke still exists. There's a Mexican restaurant near me and they serve it. They call it Mexican Coke. Personally, I don't like it as much. It's probably an acquired taste like with coffee.

Yeah exactly the same....no mate lmao

😲😲 how many do you have?

There are more varieties of bananas than that. I've eaten plantains and those mini-bananas of an inch or 2 in length and there are at least 4 or 5 other kinds available in the tropics, just not in your average supermarket around the world.

@@jakke1975 ah nice one i wish i had an access to that :(

@@diamondSunDNA I live in Europe so I don't have access to all of them, but travel a bit and expand your horizons. Experiencing different foods is a major reason for me to travel. Even the things you have access to at home can taste totally different because you're getting it fresh from the tree, ground or water.

@@jakke1975 true, i know. I have travelled a bit too and i know how different and good food taste from UK lol. Wherever there is more Sun food always taste better

ivanov093 Mine, too!! How poetic is your last sentence!?

It's not actually extinct. It's just quite rare after all the die-off and isn't used much commercially because of the rarity. Because of the reliance on suckers, it takes a while for a banana population to bounce back.

@@Devilot109h

I've had Gros Michel on a banana split. They aren't extinct, they just aren't grown for mass consumption anymore. They're a small crop thing. "artisanal banana's" if you would. :P and yeah, they're way better. Cavendish banana's are quite bland.

Did you see they're also shaped the same? It's like banana candies are a memorial to the Gros Michel

They can’t figure out how to stop the world burning and the polar ice melting… I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for a tasty banana.

You can still buy a Gros Michel, they're just really expensive because there are so few people growing them.

@@tissuepaper9962 I ate one today and it blew my socks off, they have got to find a way to bring them back or fight the fungus untill they get to peoples mouths.

we lost the original banana technology and its too painful to rebuild from scratch

@@noodleboi6711 stop mass production is one way

And I'm generally the other way around...

Same i hate banana's but every night i have banana milkshake

same. I'll even eat banana bread. just not bananas .I wonder if I'd like other kinds?

@@sapphirethedeer5299 that's how you catch obesity

I love actual bananas but hate banana flavored things. Now it makes sense to me too

I want to try them! 😄

Really? So those unnerving bananas crammed with seeds are still tasty?

Crazy. Would you post a pic? Bananas grow everywhere in Brazil !!!

@@FerreTrip The ones with seeds taste the best. At least in some varients.

@@zubayeerahmed3801 From what I've noticed, natural foods seem to taste better than their artificial versions which have a more plastic kinds of flavor. Unfortunately it's becoming tougher to find the more natural versions of foods where in the US.

Bananas are wonderful! You can do a whole bunch of thing with them! :D (Pun not intended :P)

I used to work in the produce section. I learned in the worst way that there really can be spiders in the bananas! So did the rest of the store thanks to my unholy banshee scream of fright when a brown tarantula scuttled across my hand. But! We did not kill him! Instead, my coworkers and I got him into a little tupperware dish and poked holes for him, gave him water, a few mealworms… and then tried to figure out what to do with him. It was snowing outside, and we weren’t just going to toss him out there! He’d scared me but we weren’t going to kill him! We did accidentally get him adopted. An arachnologist overheard us talking, and asked to take a look. And was immediately wanting to take the little arachnid home. Happy ending for the spider!

Same here in Malaysia. Poor western people lol

@@bellagrey7739 You have bananas... we have everything else.

@@skylined5534 sure you do lol

@@bellagrey7739 it’s just city folks that don’t know how to garden 😂 I’m in California. I’m growing 5 different varieties.

@@anekinoo7 Is california a real place?

is that your excuse for littering?!?! cool

@@liamgardner1252 it also provides an opportunity for slapstick comedy

You can actually eat the wrapper and leave no mess. In terms of it being biodegradable, yes it is but it takes a few years, so if you want the place littered with slowly rotting banana wrappers then put it in a bin

Literally every fruit has a biodegradable "wrapper". That's no excuse for littering

Milk + Banana juice (including its skin) is a healthy drink. No sugar or honey need be added.

You can, but depending on where you live, its pretty hard and expensive.

Todd Parris Or Canada (my home), dont forget Canadians :D

Hey, I was born 1981 and this is a first time I'm hearing about it. It's a bit silly but it makes me feel like I missed out on something, almost as if I was robbed of some sort of great opportunity. Odd.

lol I was thinking the same thing. '91 baby here. i'm like " no fair" but there are different varieties of bananas that exist and are grown....of course they're likely only found (in the USA anyway) in specialty stores, farmers' markets and in people's back yards.....they're usually smaller & probably more common in other countries (Latin America, Caribbean, etc) where people grow edible plants on their properties more than here. Just do a quick search on eBay or google and they sell several varieties of banana plants, some of which are reputably tastier than the commercial variety we all enjoy. I've had some before. Unfortunately they're rare to come by unless you know someone with a tree. Same goes with mangoes and papayas actually.... (probably other fruits as well).... the mangoes and papayas in most markets SUCK....even when it's their season. I don't see why people bother buy them, especially when they're so expensive. My parents came from Haiti and we have several Papaya trees ...so you can actually wait till the fruit is ripe (bright orange all over) to enjoy it... (the ones in the market are picked well prior and the flavor/texture suffers for it) .... the varieties they grow commercially are likely different too, to be more bug resistant, require less water or space, grow faster, etc etc. We live in Florida and have neighbors who have a massive mango tree that grows huge incredibly sweet mangoes. Not that fibrous sour crap they sell for over a dollar in markets. No food tastier or sweeter in my opinion than a tree ripened mango or papaya that grew in someone's back yard. Sad part is that most fruit trees are extremely low maintenance to grow too, yet so few people do, even here in the south.

You can still eat the grow machel its just not grown by banana inderstrys any more

Same in bangladesh! So many varieties! Seeded ones too!

It's very U.S.A, yes?

Also multiple types of "women"

I really want to try all different bananas! The cavandish is kind of bland.

+effyleven Same with hydroponically grown tomatoes. Taste completely different from naturally grown ones.

+p123 Those ones actually have alot less of a ''planty'' taste and more of a sweet taste, don't they? That'd actually be quite surprising to me.. But I suppose the more planty ones could perhaps be much more efficiently produced, as a reason for it's commercial succes. I think I've read how this applies to strawberries aswell, though I might be wrong with either case

+effyleven It really depends on your age... Gros Michel bananas were phased out in the late 50's. They are not extinct, though. I have one growing in my yard right now. I can't wait to try one.

+sputnut really? Are you pulling my leg?

+PretentiousRed Seriously. I got it from a guy on Amazon whom I more recently met online on bananas.org. It's the real deal, but only a foot tall right now is all. In some central American places and even a few islands in the Caribbean and Hawaii, people still grow them. In Hawaii they are called Bluefields and other places have local names for them as well but most places recognize the name Gros Michel (Pronounced gro mishel) or Big Mike.

We have several varieties of bananas in southern India. I like red banana, hill plantain, green varieties and so on

Oh hell yes

Oh hell nah

Yeah but they have so much more fat and sugar than regular chips. Super unhealthy

@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 it's called an energizing meal

Yes coated in honey then baked.

I'm the exact opposite. I hate bananas except plantain but love the banana flavored/shaped sweets

Lav Queso and we guys all love our own bananas...

maybe because banana flavor has weird ethanol-like aftertaste. i don't know if it's really ethanol or not, but to my tongue it stings like unpleasant 'yellowish' ethanol.

It's also because that banana "flavour" is in reality a combination of several flavours and chemicals that add nuance to the taste. It's like comparing stereo music to a mono track - sure, you can have the same song played in mono instead of stereo, but it's not the same. You're effectively getting a one-dimensional (or "mono", not "stereo") taste profile when you eat sweets that are banana flavoured. Scientists have been struggling to replicate the complex characteristics of real bananas for a long while now.

Lav Queso iii

I miss the Señorita bananas and lumpia made with the fat red cooking bananas. Beautiful country!

boy you should have seen and ate the jungle variety (found deep in the jungles). Taste good albeit very tiny.

UFC blue ketchup master race

Even Hawaii grows several kinds of banana - they have one called The Blue Banana! I'm from Denmark and we only have Cavendish and plantains - I wish we had many different, like apples! We are much smaller than America but you can easily buy many more different kinds of apples and I think that is wonderful!

They still exist.

The scientists in food and history are not in sync and they have no idea we use bananas to make incense sticks stand upside and after that, we eat.. It dates back thousands(maybe tens of thousands?) of years.. By the way I am from neighbor state, AP south.. :D

red banana is so good in florida

Same thing here in the Philippines, the most common here are lakatan, saba and latundan. The banana showed in the video are the crappy tasting ones mass produced for supermarkets.

Sleepy Penguin, I like those stubby ones.

The small short red ones are great. I planted a banana tree this year, but when I bought it no name was listed. It is supposed to produce after 2-3 seasons. Hope it does! I hope it's the small red variety! They taste amazing!

So your saying the yellow bannanas I've been eating my whole life I got from supermarkets and stores are just one type of banana called the cavendish banana do other bananas come in different colors besides the green to yellow cavendish ones

Plasma. Yes, they do come in different shapes, sizes, and color. You have short ones, long ones, fat ones. in color, you have some reddish ones and some that are a custard color

I brought some to class (at the time I was in 3rd grade or so?) and everyone thought they were fake, so yeah, many North Americans are uneducated in the fact that multiple types if bananas even exist haha.

Organic doesn't mean not GMO, organic means that it isn't grown with the use of pesticides.

+Davey Peacock The USDA definition of organic requires the plant to not be a GMO, but it is unlikely that banana growers outside the US would be able to go to the USDA for certification. Instead they are certified by organizations that happen to permit GMO's.

+Davey Peacock No the Cavendish was not genetically engineered they were created by old fashioned selective breeding, like just about every single plant you've ever bought in a grocery store (or a combination of selective breeding AND genetic engineering).

+Tyler Peterson there is a difference between genetically modified and genetically engineered.

kaeldare I may have been mistaken. I was under the impression that they had been genetically engineered, as in using gene guns in a lab. If that is not true, then my bad.

This is true, but these other kinds of bananas are hard to find in a normal grocery store. At the big chain grocery stores it is mostly one single kind of banana. Therein lies the problem. monoculturing just isn't a great idea.

+Anthony Trifoglio The gros michel bananas, despite what the video says they're not completely extinct; they are however very rare to find and aren't exported outside of the locations/countries they're grown in. But I agree the gros michel deserves a comeback

+ImDaWgr That pisses me off. You can buy kopi luwak coffee that was shit out by palm civets, but not a gros michel banana. You'd think someone would have figured that out already.

+Anthony Trifoglio Exactly what I was going to comment until I saw you already had. I am ancient enough to have eaten Gros Michel bananas, not that I knew that bananas had changed until relatively recently. I just knew that I used to like bananas, and then at some point (I'm assuming when the stocks changed) I didn't. I find the bananas of today too grainy and almost bitter if they aren't very ripe.

Gros Michel!

+ImDaWgr sooooo, someone has to go there, eat the banana and smuggle a few seeds out right? sounds easy enough to me XD also, sorry for necroposting

xenophontiacicidationarionism I remember that episode

Frederick Rhodes I have bananaphobia, seeing as how I was forced to eat them as a kid ("eat all your fruits and veggies or else you can't get up from the dinner table!") even though I turned out to be allergic to them the entire time

Oh come on it reminded me of a little kid really enjoying fruit. It was cute.

that smell...it smells like my grandma's house. my grandma is gross and weird, cause she smells like old bananas

You idiots dont deserve a informative video

Ateeb Mushtaq nobody gets what they deserve...and if you want information try reading a book

I still don't get it he's said in the video that the Bananas we eat in the U.S are infertile and the seeds won't grow anything so how the hell do they grow new bananas to replace the rotten ones?

The main problem I see with genetically modified foods is that when they take genes from one species and put them in another species, WITHOUT LABELING THEM, how will people allergic to that inserted species know what to avoid? Allergic reactions to transgenic crops HAVE happened before. I am all for labeling GMOs, for this very reason.

Everything that is consumed is genetically modified (artificially). In any case, if we don't do it, nature will, albeit rather glacially.

Алина Старковa Is that why every single one of them is on CLEARANCE at my local store?!? Maybe the higher ups figure if you're going to be taking them out of the store either way, maybe if they're marked down cheap enough, they'll choose to pay 99 cents plus tax to avoid the personal limo ride to jail & the x monthly probation payments, the magnifying glass up the yoo hoo/on your world & the double whammy combo period free slave labor (community service) days with tax paying as an employee somewhere, in order for a taxpayer paid probation officer to check off some long list of court ordered requirements with your name on it. All that, after the booking, the bail, the small chat with a useless tax paid public defender, & talk with the all-powerful judge. Why not just give Walmart the dollar already, it's much cheaper by far! BTW: LOL! Saw an ripped open, empty package of one in the toy clearance section not even two months ago. I was thinking, what? why? I think it would cause undue stress to be pinching a stress reliever tool. I'd get stressed out all over again every time I'd try to use it. I'd probably start hyperventilating, for cryin' out loud. Thieves don't enter the Kingdom of YHVH. That said, I'm pretty sure that what you say is true. Current #1 item. Next week or month, it'll also be the first item into the trash bin when something different becomes 'the new thing out'. May YHVH bless all

полая корона You know it's funny how you felt the need to rudely attack my belief without any proof that what you believe is any more true than what I do. I didn't intend to attack you or any belief you may have, or don't have, by stating that one day there will a judgment for those shoplifters that the other commenter had referred to. I simply typed YHVH twice in a post, & you retaliated. How very peaceful & kind of you. Would it have been more acceptable to you if I had said their punishment would arise from the bad Karma they had created? Or, alternately, after death, they'd be reincarnated into some lesser life form or that they are doomed to receive another of the many other retributions out there in the world's religions? Saying G-d is not real is not necessarily the condemnation of all religions, since many of the world's religions don't have a g-d or g-ds per se, but powers, rules, empirical laws, etc. You didn't state what you believe, but I'll just temporarily assume you to be an atheist. Especially since I see your screen name appears to be Russian, I'll run with that theory. In the media, we, Americans, are told that the nation with greatest number of new Christian converts is Russia. But we were also told that up until quite recently, religion was forbidden under communism. So if you are Russian, you're living in a swiftly changing society. Correct me, if I'm wrong, as the media isn't always reliable here, & you've already shown that you are very quick to correct. Since your statement says 'G-d is not real. YHVH is a lie', it reveals you couldn't possibly be an agnostic nor a Catholic nor a Christian nor Jewish nor even Muslim. If you believe that there is a higher power that is not a g-d, ok, & if you don't, that's your belief as well. I was not trying to evangelize you or anyone else during the fidget comment. I never knew you existed until you replied to my comment. I was simply stating that shoplifters will get their comeuppance. Even people who don't believe in g-d still believe in a higher power which balances the good & bad, the right & wrong, the ying & yang of the universe. But, you've went out of your way to directly comment to me, to convince me against YHVH, you have essentially asked for a theological conversation with me. If you do not believe in a higher power, then the thieving described in the main comment would not be so inherently wrong in the grand scheme of things. No higher power means that survival of the fittest, quickest, smartest, & craftiest ultimately rules. Accordingly, if store security doesn't catch the thief, the police don't become involved, & Walmart doesn't go bankrupt, there is no one to really care, no true victim, it really doesn't matter, no known perpetrator, & the thief gets off scott free; he wins? If true, that's just another missing fidget, & life just goes on until death with no comeuppance ever. But your comment had absolutely nothing to do with the video, bananas, fidgets, or shoplifting, though. It was solely & specifically about attacking YHVH & me, for my belief, & saying that I have to live with it. Good, because... Honey, I will live. I will live an eternal life with YHVH in His Kingdom! I will have a smile on my face here & now & forever after! You can make the fish face & spread hate in snippy concise commentary. It's your prerogative, that's your choice! And if YHVH would prove to be a lie, I will have lived a long, happy life before my end. Good for me! I will have lived a good life with a beautiful kingdom in sight, even if it had been a mirage. That's nothing to sneeze at. But if YHVH is not a lie, in the future, I'll have lived a long, happy life only to then be granted an eternal perfected life forever & ever. Wow! Even better! Apparently, both scenarios are a win, win for me! Contrast that to your future, that is, if you're wrong about YHVH. Scripture says your knee is destined to bend, one way or the other. It will bend either in worship of Him, having repented & received the grace of Yeshua's blood, while you are still alive & as such you would receive the same life eternal as me, or it will bend in a single final, involuntary submission to YHVH's authority prior to your body being thrown into the lake of fire & brimstone, which is the second death. Death! Now you've been warned. Now, live with that! Keep in mind, I have nothing against you, & I bear you no ill will at all, please understand that. I blessed you, and you have born what will be shown to be false witness against my Father, you have said the great I AM never was. Your present life is death. So I have now shown you what you need to live with or die without! You might think that I am cursing you to death, but I make no such judgment. Your words have spoken. Only you will continue to bring that judgment upon yourself. Rather than cursing you, I've potentially blessed you by warning you. Unbelievers, though, usually don't just choose to ignore the messengers, they choose to ridicule, persecute, or kill them. All about hate. This is a public forum. In the country I am typing this, I still, as of this time, retain the G-dgiven right to free speech, & the freedom of religion & the right to free expression thereof of my religious belief, with no laws impugning such. On my money, both made of metal & of paper, it still reads 'In G-d, we trust.' In spite of what YOU say, I will continue to trust in YHVH, even if you are still upset about it, & even if it is offensive to you. YHVH & His son, Yeshua, is wherein my peace lies in this chaotic world both you & I live in. Your worldly, disrespecting words won't take that away from me. Scripture says that believers will be persecuted for His name's sake & those believers should feel blessed because of that persecution. I feel blessed today because of what you said. Also, scripture says that the believer should bless his or her friends, but that he or she also should go on to bless his or her enemies. I don't consider you an enemy, just someone who may be lacking love & peace in the heart. I bless you & take that short retort of yours as further fulfillment of scripture. And in the least likely of places- the comment section of a banana video on RU-vid. So I say to fulfill my part & to fill my heart. I blessing, along with everyone else in world, in His name... May YHVH bless all!

+Paradox xodarap I don't like bananas that much. Am I an alien?

+Silvana Miranda Yes, you are an alien. Would you mind if we ran some simple tests on you? But seriously read my comment above and you'll know why you don't like bananas. I ate the Gros Michel when I was a kid in the 60's. It was ten times better. I loved bananas when I was a kid. I hate these "bananas" today. They suck.

+Silvana Miranda not sure. i can probe you and let ya know my findings.

Guilherme klein The cavendish banana is grown only by corperate companies like dale not local farmers because cavendish bananas are sterile.

Well, the rest of us eats basically the worst bananas out there... Because these are the only one they can export(import?) to our countries xd

naren sri If there is one thing I can tell you is that I'm not a local farmer. I live in the big city, but back in the day, I had a rather big house with a decent backyard, we used to buy bananas in the market and then put the seeds in there ps: I live in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, if you wanna check how big it is, it is not that big actually, but there are no farms here

The video makes it seem like there will be no bananas to eat if the cavendish goes extinct. So I'm glad that you educated us that there will always be bananas, and that we Americans just need to stop being so close minded!

Lady Tanya exactly!

Thats what I just said,, modify the gro michel

Dole was responsible for culling off multiple plantations of this variety of banana to corner the market. When the plantations had been reduced to a minimal number that is when disease decimated this variety of banana.

You can still find the Gros Michele. Mostly, they grow somewhat wild and can be found in the backyard's of some houses in Florida. As a kid, we had a couple in our yard and those things were the best bananas I'd ever tasted. From time to time, I still see them around. In fact, two houses away from me, my neighbor has about 1/2 a dozen of them. I'm just waiting for some to ripen and I may just be hopping a fence or two! Also, check Ebay... I have seen some small trees for sale. Mind you, if you get snow, kiss your tree goodbye.

they're not that different, and they not extinct, just most stores don't sell them.

R Welch... You are correct in one thing: They are not extinct. They are just very hard to find and you will generally not see them in a store. However, they ARE that different! It's obvious that you are either too young to have ever had one or simply do not remember them. They are sweeter, creamier and more flavorful than the bananas we get today. In some places, such as south and central Florida, may people can find them growing in their back yard! I have even seen little trees for sale on Ebay! Here's a link to where you can buy it on Amazon www.amazon.com/Gros-Michel-Banana-Plant-Variety/dp/B0094JDSAC

You're right ! I consider myself be big fan of banana. That's because it's non organic bananas! well, Most of the Bananas are genetically modified and quickly grown from Latin america. We get that alot in Europe. Btw smaller sized bananas are tasty.

Abdi Adam yea i got some from my trip to south asia

Playbackjunkie Organic ones are tastier than conventional since they grow slower & so spend a little more time on the plant. Since all US bananas are already picked green, they need to spend as much time as possible on the plant to have any sweetness. That's why some go green straight to rot.

@Alpha Centauri my brother's a picky eater.

Virgins who like big 🍌🍌 🍌??? Gotta be a joke there somewhere

WHAT??????????? You get virgins with bananas?? hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm

This is an incoherent ass story

That's my fetish.

have you ever tried to throw them off of a building???

Aha I see what ya did there!

satya govinda ,can you send me some

I'd love some too

WOW!!! Where can I buy some to taste?

@@queenmichelle3308 can't, because they only can stand for a week

Im eating a genetically modified banana and I can't taste the difference since I never had the seedy one

I loved those Gros Michel Bananas as a banana Split. ummmm Here is another mystery, WHY was Michael Jackson's Bus caught attempting a SECRET exit from NEVERLAND, years after he was declared DEAD, EXCLUSIVE - : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EaX7ayE_bcs.html found ONLY here. And How did William Wagener, know to be there on June 26th, and film it with professional Zoom and high end camcorder?

@@williamwagener banana splits now I remember the taste of those bananas at Woolworths food bar. OOOHHH Yeah

rastapatch Mail ,how old are you I've never seen one

@@queenmichelle3308 they were sweeter and more flavorful and had no aftertaste the seeds were a bit darker and they didnt have a trace of bitter .They seemed smaller as well. The texture was softer , not as grainy even without being completely ripe .Yes , to me they really were that much better . They were scrumptious in Rice Krispies or plain Cheerios. You really didnt need to apply sugar to the cereal . the aroma would permeate a room . YUUUUUM

I went bananas over them!!!

Yes they are clones just like marijuana can be cloned buy cutting a low branch and splitting the bottom of it into 8 long pieces kind of like roots then re planting it with a white root hormone powder itll grow into the same plant

Absolutely. A perfect genetic clone of the parent plant.

Not really vlones but more like all of them are the same plant.

Most of them being an off shoot of an original plant you can only assume that somewhere along the line they must have started from a seed just like every other plant out there.

caleb roach Cause natural things can reproduce on their own? That's why the modern banana isn't natural.

its not gmo.

Shavenhamster didn't say it was

On the contrary, science has indeed HELPED modern agriculture, not "screw it over". Without science in agriculture, you wouldn't be alive today, as with many people.

***** assumptions much?

Go away. www.nytimes.com/1986/09/09/science/scientific-advances-lead-to-era-of-food-surplus-around-world.html?pagewanted=all

Nowadays they taste like liquid polymer

Banana burps are the worst in my opinion. You can brush your teeth and use mouth wash to get rid of banana breath, but you will be burping banana for the rest of the day. ITS AWFUL!!!!!!!

Depends on whether or not it´s a cavendish tree.

+Michael Morales I don't like Cavendish anyway. We have different bananas here.

+Michael Morales Pedantic maybe, but they aren't trees. The banana is a large herb.

ApexMike the only kind of large herb that grew things were the herbs back when the dinosaurs were alive and yes they were herbs not trees but u tried

Damaged Dan What part of 'herbaceous flowering plant' disagrees with your assertion, exactly? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana

Javaman92 I agree but the ones now are typically bigger so more profit for the growers?

agreed CRISPR should make it easier to do...the flavour and sweetness genes and maybe a few developmental or flowering genes, but it should be doable. Maybe even go the other way and add the fungus resistance genes back to the Gros Michel.

To: jon byron, 🔵 You are incorrect, the Gros Michel banana was longer, wider and sweeter than the modern Cavendish.

Because we seem to be focuing more on bringing back the Tasmanian Tiger and the Wooly Mammoth vs. Things that would make more sense to do.

Java man its Gmo Monsanto way of highjacking our food industry like they've done everything else
