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?
Cooking banana
Cooking bananas are banana cultivars in the genus "Musa" whose fruits are generally used in cooking. They may be eaten ripe or unripe and are generally starchy. Many cooking bananas are referred to as plantains ( , ) or green bananas, although not all of them are true plantains. Bananas are treated as a starchy fruit with a relatively neutral flavour and soft texture when cooked. Bananas fruit all year round, making them a reliable all-season staple food.
