huh I buy lots of bananas

like used to eat one each day

I wish I could have eaten a Gros Michel banana

That fake banana flavor in candy and stuff is based on it.

huh it is?

I like some of those banana candies

Yeah

That's why banana candies taste nothing like today's banana

Because that banana breed is extinct.

And all we have left to remember it is the artificial banana flavor

Which people say isn't as good as the original.

The Honduras Foundation for Agricultural Research set out to breed Panama Disease resistant 'Gros Michel' bananas, and after initial problems due to poor agronomic characteristics of the plants from which the pollen was taken (male parent), they developed an improved diploid (SH-3142) which served as the male parent for the development of various hybrids (FHIA-01, FHIA-18, FHIA-21 and FHIA-250). The hybrids released so far have good bunch and agronomic characteristics, are resistant or tolerant to Fusarium wilt and are being grown in a wide range of agro-ecological conditions in Africa, Latin America and Australia

huh?

what you saying about extinct

Oh it still exist?

I was told it was pretty much gone.

apperantly they have some resistant hybrids growing somewhere

but yeah pretty much replaced by the other type

but according to this you could if you wanted get hold of a hybrid banana

I guess.

But I would have to special import them probs.

>expensive as hell banana

>fucking autist

I can just see it now

And being a hybrid wouldnt have that pure banana flavor.

you are telling me a myth you know that

the banana we have now still have the flavour

Gros Michel was popular because it was pretty much only that flavor.

the other type just had a higher concentrations and not other components to affect the taste

that is right

The banana we have now are more starchy and whatnot.

At least I know where the song Yes! We have no bananas

come from

:V now that is)

I wonder if I can make a miniature banana tree

Bonsai are basically dwarf and miniature varieties of trees
