Banana Special

  banana is an elongated, edible  fruit  –  botanically a berry^{[ 1 ]}  – produced by several kinds of large  herbaceous   flowering plants in the  genus  Musa. In some countries, cooking bananas are called plantains, distinguishing them from  dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in  starch covered with a  peel, which may have a variety of colors when ripe. It grows upward in clusters near the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless ( parthenocarp) cultivated bananas come from two wild species –  Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana, or hybrids of them.
