  We need more mainstream banana varieties :c I don’t want to die only having tried the Canvendish

    If you’re in the US, there’s a lot of options for ordering exotic fruits, including bananas, but they can be expensive and you got to be ready to eat them fairly fast once they arrive in the mail.

    I have a friend who used Miami Fruit before: miamifruit.org/collections/…/banana-variety-box

      You bet your goddamn ass I can eat $147 worth of exotic bananas in two days.

    I order exotic fruit plants from Sow Exotic, they have a pretty good selection of bananas.

  I do think it’s weird that every banana cultivar is described a having a “creamy” texture. Is there a banana with a jagged, rough texture out there? Chunky? Gritty? Watery? Greasy?

    Oh fuck, givee them greasy nanners!

    I’ve definitely had gritty bananas. Red bananas have such a small window of ripeness anymore they might as well be called gritty bananas now.

    well cooking bananas/plantains are starchy

    I have no clue what bananas used to look like before they got bred to mostly the same 🍌 but maybe? I’m too lazy to look up descriptions of the tastes of old banana types. I also don’t want to see the results of said web search.

  Maybe this is what we'll get when the Cavendishes go extinct.

    There is already a cavendish variety that resists the fungus or what is it attacking it, but it was created using gene manipulation so it’s not allowed in the EU

      Can we do a plague resistant Gros Michel, please?

      Ai slop from google

      A genetically modified Cavendish banana (specifically the QCAV-4 line) has been developed with high resistance to the devastating 

      Panama disease Tropical Race 4 (TR4) fungus. The resistance is achieved by inserting a specific gene, RGA2, derived from the wild banana Musa acuminata ssp. malaccensis, which helps the plant defend against the soil-borne wilt fungus. 

      Key details about the resistant gene and modification:

      • The Gene (RGA2): While the Cavendish already has the RGA2 gene, it is largely inactive or expressed at very low levels in conventional Cavendish bananas. The modified version (QCAV-4) uses a highly active version of this gene from a wild, resistant banana.
      • Effectiveness: Field trials showed that QCAV-4 was highly resistant to TR4, with only 2% of plants infected, compared to 66% in non-GM control plants.
      • Development: The modification was developed by researchers from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT).
      • Approval: In February 2024, the Australian government approved this genetically modified banana for commercial release.
      • Future Development: Researchers are also using CRISPR gene-editing technology in partnership with Fresh Del Monte to potentially activate the banana’s own existing RGA2 gene, rather than introducing one from a wild source.

    Let’s just hope they have a bunch of seeds cryogenically frozen in a lab somewhere.

      There is no such thing as a banana seed. All banana types are singular lineages of clones. All bananas of a certain type (currently cavendish is the one exported to all around the world) are the same genetically, that’s why they are so susceptible to colony-destroying fungal infections.
