This was fascinating. I'm in my 60's and I clearly remember bananas in my pre-school days staying a billion times better.
Been told all my life that taste fades, etc.
Nope. Turns out it's a totally different variety of fruit.
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've always found it kind of strange that I don't like actual bananas, but I love anything banana flavoured. It all makes sense now.
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 remember as a child in the 1960s that all of a sudden bananas did not taste as good. Now I know it was because of the switch from the Gros Mishel to the Cavandish. Same thing with Coca-Cola when they switched from cane sugar to high-fructose corn syrup as the sweetener.
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
I'm from the Philippines and my tears fell when i learned that you only have 1 variety of banana 😢
😲😲 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 :(
@@Ina_m22 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
The whole, banana flavored things actually do taste like banana, it's just a once ubiquitous strain that's now extinct, blew my mind. That's honestly amazing. Candies are the fossilized footprints of this banana lost to time.
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
As someone who was born in 1992, it pains me that I'll never get to eat a banana that was possibly tastier then the banana's we have now.
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
Having been born in the 1950s, yes there is a distinct difference in taste between the 2 banana types. The type I ate in the 60s was sweeter and had a much more distinct banana flavor to it. Today's bananas are bland and starchy compared to those we ate back in the day. There has to be a way to produce a better tasting banana than what's out there right now.
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
I can second just how popular bananas are. I work in the produce department of a grocery store and we receive a whole pallet of bananas every morning. They're usually gone by the end of the night.
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!
and they come with their own biodegradable wrapper - the perfect food
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.
Having grown up in Brazil, we had dozens of different varieties of bananas. each with a different flavor, size, and texture.
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?
I am from Bangladesh and I have eaten banana seeds before. Big ones. They taste really good. There are dozens of varieties in our country. My fav is the "Shagor kola". It's long and sweet.
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.
The few countries that still produce the Gros Michel today mostly do so under another name: Thihmwe in Myanmar, Johnson in Cuba, Pisang Ambon in Malaysia. In Hawai'i, it is commercially grown as Bluefields.
I am an American that moved to the Philippines I remember the old bananas very well but over here there are so many types that I love more cooked plantains and sweet queen types LONG LIVE THE BANANA
LONG LIVE BANANA CUE (DEEP FRIED SUGAR COATED PLANTAIN)
Ever tried banana chips?
Those are damn good.
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 hope one day science figures out how to bring back the Gros Michael as I'd love to try one, I LOVE banana flavouring!
Oh gosh imagine banana bread made with Gros Michael instead of Cavendish!
They still exist.
I love this channel for just this kind of information that I never knew I needed to know. I've eaten bananas in Africa and South America that are nothing like the 'Cavendish'. They were the size and shape of chubby fingers, sweeter, softer and much, much tastier. I'm wondering if they're more like the original SE Asian varieties.
We have several varieties of bananas in southern India. I like red banana, hill plantain, green varieties and so on
World: oh no we only have 1 type of banana left!
Philippines: Meh, we have more than 10 types of banana😆😆😆
.dito samin binibilad lng yan sa tabing kalsada..
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.
I'm so freaking terrified over this that I don't think I will be able to sleep.
WOW!! Snappy!
hahaha nice one
I've never been so jealous of an entire generation until now
My favorites are the little red bananas that come in a "hand stalk", that is they grow side-by-side like fingers instead of in a bunch like "regular" bananas. They are sweet and have a creamier texture but they do go bad faster so you have to eat them quicker; not a big problem since they are only about 4 bites big. Every now and then I will see them in the produce section but it is becoming rarer and rarer and the quality is descending just like the supply.
Aha! That explains why bananas taste different to when I was a kid. They are DIFFERENT bananas.
+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.
Every few months I'm able to whip out this knowledge in random conversation.
Same here everyone I know will know these knowledge
Lol I love giving random facts and seeing people’s reactions
i also whip out banana in random conversations
Thank you for being precise and less time consuming than the other drawn out explanation videos on here 🤟👍
I remember how good the bananas were when I was growing up in the 60's. I knew they went extinct but I never knew the name Gros Michel until now.
They didn't actually go extinct, they just aren't grown at an industrial scale anymore. You can still buy the trees and the fruit online.
The Gros Michel is still grown and is exported all over the world and is not extinct.. it just isn't as widely grown as before due to it being hit hard by the wilt.. I'd like to get my hands on one... be interesting to taste one..
True. I live in Jamaica and we have it there
Now if only I could get a bunch of greenies shipped here lol.
Love the darn things
+Justin O'Higgins in indonesia too btw :)
+Justin O'Higgins true
thats what she said
I can confirm that this truth was terrifying!
I remember getting a small bunch of stubby bananas in Goa on holiday as a kid and promptly discovering they tasted very different to every banana I had eaten before. Not the best way to find out about monocultures, but I did brighten an elephant’s day with the rest of those bananas.
You speak so well! It is pleasure to listen! Clear, precise, and fast but NOT too fast! Thank you!
Lmao, I've always wondered why I love "actual" bananas but hate banana flavored things.
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
There are so many types of bananas in the Philippines. We even have banana ketchup.
In Thailand too, My mom is from the Philippines I visited her home there and had an Amazing time in such a beautiful country.
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!
Now I understand why Rasta grows different varieties of bananas in Jam Rock

When in the army in Asia in 1966, the bananas were so good, now I know why!
OK, Boomer!
@@wandaperi Ok Zoomer
Banana flavoured candy also tastes different because they don't use the entire flavour profile of the banana. They split up the flavour into different characteristics and candy often uses only one of these, the strongest. I forgot what it is but the actual flavouring has a number/name.

@@chemknapp thanks :)
I ran a produce department for years and we always joked about the fact that bananas are basically GMO, and there is a huge amount of people who believe that our banana has a seed at the bottom of the peel lol
So basically... those "organic" bananas they sell are actually genetically engineered not organic.
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.
Hmm... I wasn't born in the 60's but cavendish is not the only type of Banana I've ever had. I've had plantains and apple bananas as well. I've never tried red bananas though
There's also the Canary
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.

I ate a red banana once in Taiwan. Tastes a little like a mango.

I ate Gros Michel 'nanas! But, I don't remember it 😕. My older siblings do though, and that's how I found out I was fed them up to about 3 years old. (My mother preferred making her own "baby food" on occasion, like fruit and vegetables.) But my older siblings do remember the "banana crisis".
damn now i really want to try a Gros Michel, but I can't. why don't they try to bring those back but genetically modify those to be immune to the fungus
+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

@@abaddon130 What? 😳
That was cream that came to the top. We used to go to the dairy with the glass bottles and a wide mouth, turn in our old bottles for filled ones. That was when milk just had to be homogenized, I'm 60. We'd buy 5 gallons at a time, would last our family of 8 a week.
What State are you in? It's legal in many areas to buy raw (tested) cows milk. I'm in Texas here, it's legal to sell to private individuals from the farm.
And when you took off the cardboard caps they were coated with risen cream and you could lick them off. Delicious.

Thanks one of the few channels that make you worry then calm then worried again
in Indonesia we have like 20 kinds of banana..the size varies from small to big, even the taste is different from sour to sweet...i know like 4 kinds of them (the one i usually eat)...cavendish usually sold at supermarket/minimarket..for the other kinds of banana you can find it only at tradional market
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
Damn, I'm gonna go and eat 20 bananas now while I still can!

Commander Strax Dude, the radioactivity of a banana is trivial upon trivial upon trivial. Most radioactive fruit? Cool, doesn't mean it's dangerous, you get more radiation just sitting outside for a while
I do learn much from your videos. Thanks from a life-long learner.
Beautiful information. Thank you.
Banana's don't even really taste like Banana's anymore, they mainly have a boring bland, plain taste.
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.
in the Philippines, we have different kinds of bananas too. And i still remember those with seeds which are really sweet. We have big green ones, small yellow brown dotted ones, medium size yellow ones, long round red ones, tiny yellows, the gardava for cooking which also has 2 kinds , and lately the cavendish. I prefer the native bananas as always, more sweet more taste.
Suddenly the most important thing is to now try a banana that tastes like "banana".
Just a note: when I went to East Africa at age 18 I made the mistake of asking one of the "hotel" (it was really a hostel) employees if they could get me some bananas as I was finding the language impenetrable. Imagine my amazement when I returned and found a huge stalk of about 20 banana waiting for me! My helpful friend asked if I wanted him to "hang" my bananas because I was so short. I had no idea what he was talking about but he carried them into my room and hung them from a huge hook that was chained to the ceiling. I was entranced and amazed. Sit in your chair and reach over to break off a banana whenever you feel the munchies coming on. That was 50 years ago but I still remember it perfectly clearly (where I put my keys is often a serious mystery now though).
thank-you for explaining to me why I like Banana flavoured things, but I don't actually like Bananas.
Cura Centar your sense of taste
I am the exact opposite lol
Being in the Philippines where there are a large variety of banana strains growing and being consumed, I wonder what kind of world it is like to only eat a Cavendish and never taste a Latundan, or a Señorita, or Saba. Or never having eaten a banana with actual seeds!!!! Not even in their childhood? WEIRD
Mmina Maclang in indonesia we also feel same. we got tanduk, ambon, uli, etc
I've never even heard those words used in the context of banana varieties. The only time I've eaten a non-cavendish banana was when a relative brought a bunch of these small ones back from Brazil. 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.

In India you have many varieties of banana. Like red banana and many other varieties. Bananas are so important in Tamil culture that they are one of the three most praised fruits that have been praised in ancient literature.
Right.. We have many varieties of banana including 1 1/2 feet long red and green bananas, grey bananas, dwarf bananas, changalikondan bananas and many more.. 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

+Kevin if he was a wizard you wouldn't have to ask you would see his silly hat
I don't know what these "bananas" are, but I think your friend meant to say that his armpits smell like chom choms
Thanks for sharing
Mine smell like marihuana and onion
Wow. I did not know this. Now that I think about it, I've never seen a banana with seeds, but now I know why.
I would have liked for you to include some of the other kinds of bananas especially ones we might be able to use or eat .
If you and Vsause were my teachers I would learn so much
Learn now.

What??
sameee
expect vsauce would only show up on class every 2 months
+Dark Towel true
He wanted to be silly at the end but then realized what he was doing XD
My blue java sterile mutant just started flowering. Hoping for a nice rack of bananas in 3ish months
There is something disturbing about the fact that as a species, we are trending away from eating food created by nature to food created in a lab.
Don't worry US, we have plenty of market banana varieties in Brazil.
Ann Wright :D
ur pretty af
We only eat genetically modified posion here. Through in some heavy metals and fetal cells and you have our whole diet . Our government love us so much .
Ya, even here in India we have a lot more than the cavendish. We have Rasathali, Nendran,Basrai,Red banana,Lalvelchi. And these are not even half of what we have to offer.
nonONONONO
KEEP YOUR BRAZILIAN SPIDERS AWAY FROM US!
I remember those bananas. They were so good.
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 - : czcams.com/video/EaX7ayE_bcs/video.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!!!
It's been 9 years and bananas are still here lol
Hey Sci show. I'm from Trinidad and Tobago and luckily for us we still have Gros Michelle bananas. They grow from what are called suckers. When the fully grown tree fruits and starts to die off it puts out an offshoot sapling which grows from the same root system . Eventually you can end up with a large collection of banana trees. The collective result grows almost like a banyan tree.
The small bananas we get here in Thailand taste way better than the big ones.
Plaitains?
@@scottanderson691 Plantains are huge dude, not those
YES, IN FLORIDA WE HAVE MINI ONES THAT TASTE SWEETER AND MORE APPETIZING!
The mini bananas are the best. I live in Singapore. We probably get out bananas from Thailand.
I'm so angry that I never got to eat a gros michel.
***** They are not extinct, just very rare. You can still find them in some places, mostly in thailand.
***** we have apples grapes avocados pears dates, you should try dates from the middle east
I ate a banana once over 15 years ago that had seeds, or at least *something* crunchy inside. And I have never been able to even try eating one since then
Yeah. Banans are pretty terrifying. Sometimes I wonder how I even sleep at night. Are you kidding me?
science should build a machine to go back in time and bring that banana back to existance.
Hollywood already tried this, someone almost became their own grandpa before going back to the future.
actually a movie did do that, it was called TimeRider, i own it on dvd.
Well... Watch Steins;Gate :D
we know how to make a time machine work, we just can't build it
DJ_The_Great Maybe if we go forward in time, we'll finally have the technology!
Bananas - Being GMOs since before it was cool... :D
Organic and GMO are two completely different things. Being organic means that they were grown in an ecologically clean environment without the use of any artificial fertilizers and shit... Oh, btw they probably used shit for fertilizing as they're organic. While GMO is just genetically manipulated culture it can also be grown in an organic or non organic ways :)
Glad I could help :)
I discovered plantains in Central America and fell in love - where were these when I was growing up? Fried or boiled plantains with cheese is my favorite. I eat them for breakfast every day and prefer them over bananas!
I feel like there was a behind the scenes joke about making eye contact while eating a banana
“Sterile mutants. I’m not trying to be mean…“
Just like my adoptive father.
@@lolicon453 haha
I wish the city in which I live had more sterile mutants. Seems the bigger waste of space they are the more guaranteed they are to be able to breed.
Am I the only one who genuinely respect genetically modified foods, find them interesting, and have no problem eating them? This is why I'm majoring in Organic Chemistry :P
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.
Here in Poland, the larger supermarkets carry at least 4 ardically distinct kinds of banana, although admittedly not always all 4 of them at the same time and the smaller shops just have one kind.
In some places you can use the banana peels to make shoes,apparently they make the worlds best slippers
