They were brought west by Arab conquerors in 327 B.C. and moved from Asia Minor to Africa and finally carried to the New World by the first explorers and missionaries to the Caribbean. The mass production of bananas started in 1834 and really started exploding in the late 1880âs. 1 Before the 1870âs most of the land that bananas were grown on in the Caribbean had been previously used to grow sugar.

The main cultivars of bananas are all descended from two wild bananas: Musa acuminata, and Musa balbisiana. Wild bananas have large seeds and little pulp, and are quite difficult to eat. Wild bananas were bred over many years to achieve the tiny seeds they have today.
