Hi
I would love to see an episode about the world of peppers; sweet, mild or spicy; as food or weapons, peppers are amazing!
Hi, I am from India. Can you send me or tell me how can I get the Blue Java Banana species here.
you forgot Australia....
Oh and the puns yow the puns, levels. But 2:00 yeap tbh i also thought she lived in a greenhouse. She looks so colorful, just like a flower 😸😸 i know my interests are shifting, but still say hi to Danielle
I'd love to know more about the vanilla plant. It's literally everywhere, yet most people don' t know it actually looks similar to a vine plant.
Yeah and that outside its native habitat, it have to be hand-pollinated!
are you romanian
@@nunyabiznes33 my grandpa was a vanilla farmer :)
@@sus7064 I'm a little Romanian and even spoke some Romanian for a while
Problem is I'm also Romani and every time I'm talking about the Romani people are like "so you're Romanian" and I'm like well yes but that's something else entirely
@@ConstantChaos1 ok
It's actually impressive to see a blue shaded fruit. Blueberries are purple, black berries are purple, grapes are purple, but blue anything outside if the ocean is so hard to find in nature and her pigments.
Yea I think most blue foods are died with bugs lol edit: wow I spelled dye wrong lol
There are loads of blue flowers
@@amelialikesfrogs5778 Not true. Blue is extremely rare in nature. Some flowers may look blue, but they aren't. It's kinda crazy!
Yeah yeah, we've all had the no blue in nature and/or why the ancient greeks couldn't see blue or whatever in our recommened but yeah "you" are absolutely right the ocean is blue...
Peacocks:
Im from Philippines and we have plenty of blue bananas planted in our small farm. We include it in our daily meals to control our weight. Nice video you have there.
I never see those in markets. 😔
@@nunyabiznes33 it is that rare. we planted these types of banana for our personal consumption or diet. we do not sell these in markets.
ano pangalan ng variety na yan boss?
I live in south africa and wish i could taste them, they sound yummy!
saba ba yan?
There is an interesting plant you could do the native 'Yam daisy' from Australia. They are pretty scarce now but before European colonization they were ubiquitous and the Aboriginal people would cultivate and store them. There's a great book that talks a lot about the yam daisy called 'Dark Emu' by Bruce Pascoe.
Dark Emu?
That sounds scary, Emus are crazy.
@@sergersgerhersh6594 shhhh! Dont name em; squirrels are Watching!
Yam daisy? Please tell me more!
hey, hi fella, help me! what is tge name of an Aussie native tree with spiky leafs, and fruitscwhich looks something like an round graned, a round with spikes, in which are individual parts or seeds, when ready to be eaten, it is really Orange, yellow and red.
thx
@@flamah10n Don't know that one I'm afraid, sounds a bit like a rambutan but they're not native to Australia
I've tried the blue bananas, the reddish one and it's really tasty. Here in South East Asia, banana is used for everything from banana fritters to banana pancakes, to using the green leaves to wrap food etc.
What shade should the reddish banana peel be to know it's ripe enough? I once bought one but wasn't sure and waited too long. Oops. I usually eat my regular bananas when they're mostly yellow but have a hint of green at each end. Once they're spotty, I hate the flavor.
@@XSemperIdem5 You may be surprised when if I tell you that there is also a type of banana that is completely green when it's ripe and ready to eat. You can only tell if it's ripe if its already soft when you touch it. The reddish banana also has the same pigment when it's ripe.
yess, we even eat the banana heart
In Malaysia the red ones are pretty common but I've never seen the blue ones anywhere.
@@letssmile3564 Yeah, that thing is delicious! I always eat it with Peanut Sauce.
an interesting episode might be all the plants that are wrongly classified, like bananas being berries, or tomatoes being fruit.
tomatoes are both fruit and berries though, scientifically "fruit" is a name for any seed bearing structure of flowering plants (which includes berries too)
bananas are berries? tf?
@@cherubiya And strawberries are actualy nuts
@@yodamaster445 wtf
@@cherubiya Tomatoes are also berries, melons, pumpkins and cucumbers too
Fun fact: the word banana is an Arabic word that means fingers. Arab traders brought bananas from Southeast Asia to Europe. Arabs used to call banana as “banan Al moze”.
Tasha DOESN'T live in a greenhouse?! 🤨
😆😆😆😆
Maybe... She lives in a green house? 😁
@@thany3
But why?
Did she really need that extra space?
She lives in the amazon where else! haha
It always both annoys me and fascinates me, botanists can interrupt conversations with "it's actually a berry", "that is actually not the fruit but the seed", "those are actually fruit not vegetables" and so on 😅
Theoretically vegetables are fruits
There's actually no such thing as vegtables, that's a culinary term, not an actual plant term
Philosophically..bananas are fruits and strawberries are berries.
@@frozenlettuce293 according to whom??..oh..wait..let me guess..according to
" the exthperrrrtzzz" .. I hate living in a technocracy.
@@sissyrayself7508 ???
I haven't cared for them since I was a child in the Philippines. I realize now they were a completely different variety.
I really miss growing bananas. I moved to the Midwest and it's next to impossible to grow them here. The whole plant can be used for something or the other. The stem fibers can be made into thread to make garlands, the leaves can be used as a makeshift plate (and even in cooking), the flowers, the unripe fruits, ripened fruits, the stalk (the middle part of the stem), the corm (root tubers/bulbs) can all be eaten.
Fun fact about the Gros Michel variety of banana is that you can actually still taste it even though it doesn't exist anymore; artificial banana flavoring was designed to imitate the taste of gros Michel before they went extinct, that's why banana flavored candy tastes nothing like any banana we know because we are in fact tasting and smelling gros Michel bananas or at the very least something that resembles them closely.
Whaaa? Huh, that's interesting. So when we complain about the artificial banana flavor it's actually an imitation of the old banana flavor.
Gros Michel aren't extinct.I have eaten a few. They are rare, but in certain communities I'm sure you would find it and other lesser known varieties.
You can still get gros michel in some places in south east Asia.
Sugar apples aka Sweetsop. If you stew the leaves in water to make tea, the resulting tea had been known to repair internal organs. Look it up
Hearing people eat in videos is just...oof for someone with misophonia
It makes it really hard to continue
I have It and in a very strong form It seems, I get literally angry hearing people eat, and with time Im finding me eating alone, with my own sounds starting to bothering me, so I have to eat slowly and with some noise, music, or TV distracting me. What a weird thing😋
Microaggression lol
I was thinking "banana scientist" sounded like the weirdest job title, and clearly, so did Tasha. 🤣
Bananas are going extinct!!!???
I hope they don’t
Because if they do we won’t have banana bread
Which is my favorite food made of bananas
If I remember my NBCP university course correctly, bananas were mentioned as an ideal target for the biological weapon. Even one isolated deployment zone per continent is likely enough to exclude them from the food supply pool. Wheat is on the second place as a possible risk.
The BEST banana bread is made out of really ripped plantains. A natural, non hybrid fruit.
I have banana trees in my yard
Wait bananas are going extinct???!!!
From last I checked there are still tons of bananas growing on my family plantation back in my island home Tonga. Like they literally grow everywhere and we’d pick them off the banana tree while it is still green. And hang them at the back porch covered up. After that we wait for like 2 to 3 weeks and there we have it nice riped bananas. The only thing that is hard to get are vanilla’s they take time and care to grow them. My grandpa owns a vanilla plantation and they export them to overseas like New Zealand. In Tonga there is a season for every fruit. We have watermelon season which we pretty much get more melons that the usual. There is pineapple season, mango season. Coconuts nah we get those every day. Bananas yeah everyday from the front yard or the backyard.
I love banana smoothies 😩
Should try picking bananas, it's hard work, cutting and humping bananas on your shoulder then walking it over to a trailer to put down all day long, bunches weighing maybe 40kg average and going up to 70kg+. Can be a bit scary having a banana bunch fall down on your shoulder from 8ft+ high in the air then to swinging a sharp knife above the back of your head to cut the banana stem in a once motion type of movement. Search it up 'banana humping' as I don't think most people realise how their picked haha
They grow Bananas in Iceland, in a geothermal greenhouse. Because OF COURSE Iceland does something weird.
You watched weird fruit explorers too? And yes I loved their series going over that
@@nitroagent6494 I'll have to search that
Remember seeing banana extinctions news about 20 years ago, time flies by quick😎
If bananas go extinct I might literally die
So.. what do you do for a living?
- I'm a banana scientist.
Ahh, I see, a "banana" scientist huh 😏
- Yes, I science bananas.
Sure, sure, sure 😉
Well actually bananas are grown all over the tropics from the equatorial forest regions to desert areas the only condition bananas need to fruit is high enough temperatures and a lot of water depending on the cultivar of course for instance the most common bananas grown in the middle eat is the dwarf Cavendish and is mainly used sold as green cooking bananas and they are very hardy tolerating temperatures as high as 51°C but not for a very long period
Your map on banana cultivation is WRONG.
Australia grows bananas.
Most in Queensland and some in northern NSW, NT and WA.
Banana Scientist sounds dope! Great video Tasha. You had me on the floor at the end when you were eating. You are too silly. Lol!
Did u know 57% of the 90% of people who were surveyed can't spell bananas without playing that (I think) Gwen Stefani song in their head. U know it
"This shit is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s" that is... Bonkers.
As a banana(eating) expert I say "Have no fear, bananas will always be here"
Depending on where you are in the world it might take a while to make a comeback if the Cavendish goes extint
I would have sent you bananas if I could😆😆 we grow a lot here in my place...
Shoutout for pronouncing "plaintain" correctly (It's a noun, like mountain and fountain, not a verb like maintain and obtain) ☺
I’d REALLY like to try a blue Java banana! I’ve never seen them, even in fancy grocery stores in major cities (I live in a college town of about 45,000 in Appalachia), I wonder if they can somehow be had on the interweb. Time to learn about that situation, it would seem.
A local grower here in NE FL had some & we bought one about 2 years ago! I'd love to tell you about it but...no fruit yet. 😭
@@WorldWarIVXX Probably not. I think you’d have to have a greenhouse even that far south, my girlfriend’s sister lives in Clearwater and cant get fruit way down there with a standard Cavendish plant.
Maybe you can order it online and have it shipped to you
@@elijahirby250 It’s almost like I said EXACTLY that or something…
@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney okay maybe he didn’t see it stop being rude. Weirdo.
Exactly what credentials are required to be a "banana scientist?" (Asking for a friend. )
This is probably my most favorite Floralogic show to date :-D No fart jokes noticed :D :D .D
I'm from Central America and we love our bananas here 😂 I love plantains and my mom likes the red ones.
There's a tiny variety here, as big as a pinky and they're super sweet.
Im surprised this is going extinct. While markets where I live in just practically tosses rotten bananas left and right. Bruh.
I grow bananas and plantains. My favorites are the Manzano, the niño and the red bananas in that order, but we sell Cavendish is the one we sell commercially.
Banana "heartwood" is also edible. And yes the leaves can be turned into fabric.
Now I'm wondering about Dragon Fruit, like how it got its name and what its deal is.
Also, what about kiwis? Why does the small hairy fruit share its name with one of New Zealand's native birds?
As someone has not a clue:
The dragon fruit looks like how people thought dragon eggs looked.
Kiwis taste like kiwis. Birds are fruity and juicy.
The native name is pitaya and it means fruit with scales, the dragon must have come from there, I just don't understand the English name of passion fruit (the original name "Maracujá" means fruit that is eaten in the bowl)
And oranges!
Is it called orange because it has that colour, or is the colour orange named after the fruit?
@@thany3 that debate has been going for who knows how long
@@thany3 yes
Not sure if there already is a video about vanilla and cocoa beans but deep dive into either of them would be nice.
Oh Tasha 😍🥰 You are so wholesome and adorable ❤😌🌱🌿 Bless you
I tried my hand at growing dwarf cavendish bananas inside this year. Last week I put my big ones into bigger pots and transplanted some runners into new pots. Nothing died yet so I call it a success.
Would love to get more dwarf fruiting varieties next year space permitting.
Oh no, if bananas are gone, how would I know the size of everything?!?
Living in SEA, bananas here are cultivated for food and textile. It's an amazing plant. But really hope certain varieties won't go instinct.
Disappointed you didn't include Australia in the banana producing countries. We do produce bananas in Australia.
I'd love to see you cover Kudzu in the future!
Ooo, me too! That stuff was absolutely everywhere in NC.
I want you to cover kudzu, it's a super interesting plant.
"Contrary to popular belief I don't live in a greenhouse"
Well my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Maybe cover colored grasses like black mondo and blood grass and why they’re so dangerous
Alright, had pause after the fart pun. 🤣 Laughed so hard.
Also, this is great content! 🍌 is a clone 😲
Also, surprising control of innuendoes there.
I was intrigued to know that banana is a berry, and strawberries are not a berry. Do more on that; we want to know more which berry is not berry.
Me too. My life is a lie.
If you think that's confusing, Jellyfish, catfish, and stonefish all aren't fish - because there's no such thing as a fish.
Thought the title said planet and was scared for a sec but realized it's always been true
Love your work :-)
Northern NSW and Queensland in Australia (and West Aust and the Northern Territory) also produce a lot of Bananas. To try to protect the industry against potential diseases, it's illegal to grow Cavendish bananas at your home in Qld, most grow the smaller, "lady finger" instead.
Mushrooms, mushrooms should be on your list, not really "plants" but a fascinating subject that could be an entire series on it's own.
But yea I want an episode on ergot
Of course the Australian govt outlaws bananas. Clowns
I grow bananas in my backyard, and I love seeing you bring up the importance of it!
Eating 1 banana 🍌 every second?
I really can't think of too many better ways to spend my three thousand one hundred and seventy years.
(100 billion might be too many to shoot for though 🤔)
there are so many plants and levels of mycology i would love to see you guys cover!! off the top of my head i'd love to know more about tabernanthe iboga, amanita muscaria, sacred blue lotus, chamomile...could go on forever! lavender, anything regarding atropine...keep up the good work tasha!
Ergot
I really like her(Tasha the amazon) , it's so catchy 😀
I used to have a banana "tree" in my backyard growing up in Miami. That's probably the only place in the continental US they can be grown, considering their requirements.
Or bottom tip of TX, right?
They grow successfully in so much places in the US.
Please talk about “frailejones” (genus Espeletia).
It’s a beautiful high altitude plant that dominates the páramo ecosystems in Colombia (most are here), Ecuador and Venezuela.
They are hairy tower-like plants that absorb moisture from the clouds and release it through their roots, creating underground reservoirs, lakes and rivers that form the water source for tens of millions of their inhabitants.
I live in south Florida and we have banana trees in our backyard mostly as landscaping ornaments they’re popular here for that they give a nice tropical vibe. Some have given fruit before but the bananas were really small but actually tastes decently. I’m aware most bananas we get at supermarkets are full of gmos and fake colors. In some parts of Latin America a banana tree congregation of plantation is called a chawite. Also the US government has started wars and supported dictatorships for bananas thats were the term banana wars come from
There are a lot of variety of bananas. Those small banana in your backyard is probably not the common variety you see on supermarkets which is cavendish. The seemingly fake color you see is probably because most of them are ripened by ethylene. I also don't think you need to make GMO banana since they are really resistant to pest. Never in my entire 30y of living surrounded by banana here in south east asia have seen banana attacked by insect pest.
I buy organic and yea the US govt is evil lol, i.e. banana republics
@@genshin4822 I buy organic here in america
Yes.
( I have to admit, " bananas war" reminds me of the gorillas game included in MS DOS operating system).
Can y'all please make a video about Portulacaria afra? I've been reading recently about how its called a miracle plant.
Thank you for making these incredible videos 😍😍
Id love to know more about my favourite vegetable, the Beetroot!
You should try eating banana blossoms. It’s so much more different than you expect. A great meat-free plant based alternative
@dead account read about page that’s why I called it meat-free because it can be substituted for things like fish
OH MY GOD. BANANA ON TOAST. I grew up eating it my entire life and everyone I know thinks the concept is gross.
Hot toasty toast with loads of butter smashed on the top and a ripe (usually half per slice of bread) banana smashed into the butter. Perfect snack and breakfast.
Ms Amazon. I bow to you as a member of the banana on toast clan. You’re the first person I’ve seen that actually knows and or likes it other than my family.
As an Italian, I normally get mad, if not personally offended by recipes I never tasted. Now, the banana toast has surpassed the pineapple pizza in my personal grossness scale.
They’ were also used to make paper, manila paper specifically. Musa textilis, now though gets used primarily for specialty papers, like that used for tea bags and coffee filters.
I think the only part that disappointed me was that at no point in the video did you eat a banana, to show that the more efficient way to eat one is to punch the brown end and peel, as opposed to pulling the stem as most people to.
I learned that from a Chinese lady I took care of
Just FYI, ice cream bananas, which we grow, don't have a vanilla flavour. They have a mild banana flavour and are indeed creamier than regular bananas.
Banana is my most favourite fruit (apple on second place) and I always buy a lot at school everyday until I got nearly hospitalised by it lol. I just don't want bananas to go extinct man...
Not only on my counter...have them growing in my backyard
The date palm has a tasty fruit too, i like the scent of vanilla and it is a beautiful orchid.
I was intrigued to know that banana is a berry, and strawberries are not a berry. Do more on that; we want to know more which berry is not berry
Did you know that twin bananas existed
They are commonly found in south east asia
Mostly in the Philippines,Malaysia and Singapore
Id love to see animal logic do a vanila plant episode. 🤣
Always great to hear from Tasha!
Could you do videos on other delicious fruits like apples, grapes, or watermelon?
I grow blue Java at my home . It is quite tasty but is prone to fungal damage. This variety is quite rare in my country, and you will never find them in markets. It is highly valued and never sold.
We grow these Banana plants in groups, each group having several plants. One of my blue Java Banana group just died after fungal infection. The shoots became stunted n the plants started wilting. We had to burn it to save the rest of the plantations. However, from the observations, there was ant infestation that may have introduced the fungus. We also have plantains, which are resistant to fungal damage. It grows like weed.
English: Platanus=sycamore or plane, Musa=plantain, Plantago=plantain
Spanish: Platanus=plátano, Musa=plátano, Plantago=llantén
This fruit makes me excited for heaven, when I can taste rasberry bananas😁
PLEASE do an episode about elephants! I LOVE elephants!
Bananas are going extinct.
Every banana loving monkey: Alright boys, time to initiate operation planet of the apes.
Cultivated bananas, not wild bananas which are doing ok here in south east Asia.
In Indonesia, this tree are around the whole housing area, especially in the village.
The quiet “booooo” in the back after the appealing pun killed me lmfao
We grow bananas here in Australia, too!
it's a shame that most people outside the philippines will never know how good a Banana Cue will taste...
it's a bunch of Saba bananas deep fried in caramelised brown sugar. perfect snack food.
a big reason why that doesn't happen here (in Australia) is that the Cav is only one available, unless you go into specialised grocers.
*EPIC CHANNEL*
Thankyou for the great info, and as always presented in a very professional & also fun way that makes ya look forward to next one. Stoked I found you!
Peace n mung beans!
I have Gros Michel in my yard
The bananas are huge. I always forgot about that
Aren't they extinct
**Bananas about to extinct**
Monkeys: this is an Avengers level threat
I always wanted to study horticulture, heck, anything relating to plants so these videos are so nice and peaceful for me to watch.
This makes me wonder if I can still do it and make it a career.
The “seeds” on the outside of strawberries are actually the fruit that has a tiny seed inside and the fleshy part is a modified tissue of the flowers
Australia grow a lot of bananas too.
I liked the quiet 'boo' to the apeeling pun haha
I was born in Bangladesh. I remember there are so many native varieties of Banana in the country of my birth! But since the 90s, with the tide of economic development, a lot of these varieties have vanished from the market. However, there are still many. If Cavendish goes bye bye, Indian and Bangladeshi varieties will make sure banana loving people don't get deprived of this soft sweet delicious fruit.
When she said scientists are hard at work so we don't have a bananaless future really got me thinking about humanities future 😂
"not a tree... Plant! " How to tell one from the other? And berry?!
It doesn't have bark-like thing. It would be closer if you imagine an onion with extremely elongated form. It has a layer inside a layer inside a layer.. :D
@@AuliaAF nicely put it!
In the Philippines, we don't actually eat cavindish bananas. This is the variety most of Americans know. Here, we have a lot more cultivars that are sweeter.
Not forget to mention, potassium is also made out of bananas
In Indonesia there's a trend called Salam dari Binjai, you punch the banana tree as hard as you could 😂
You forgot to mention 🍌 are slightly radioactive.
What will the clowns slip on now 😭😭😭
STOP BANANA TOAST WITH BUTTER AND CINNAMOON IS SO GOOOD
Wait, so what type are the mini bananas? Because they don't taste like regular bananas or plantain.
Plantains less sweet? You're not letting them ripen enough. I leave it until the peel is mostly black and it feels softer. Then you fry them and they're so squishy and taste caramelized.
It's 4:23am. I do not need to go eat a banana with peanut butter right now. Stop making me hungry 😅
And I laughed too loudly at the banana scientist outtakes 😂 Hey, if we can have penguinologists, we can have banana scientists.
I love you Tasha! You are so funny!
An episode on the Hoatzin Bird would be awesome! Please!
