Popular Post Seik Posted January 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Who's brillant idea was it to put unedible little rocks inside of a damn banana? Nearly broke one of my tooth on one of them and they're disgusting. It seems to concern only a particular species, anyone has any info so I never have to buy this <deleted> again? Picture of the culprits attached. I've bought tons of small bananas before that weren't like that so I'm a little confused.

I'm guessing you're right but it's a total bummer when you've enjoyed seed-free bananas your whole life. What happened to relying on that cute little black thing at the very bottom of the banana for reproduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
userabcd Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Maybe it is a plantain variety of banana? usually used for cooking. In the photo it appears they have that angular shape. Plantains are a starchy, unsweet variety of banana that are inedible raw and must be cooked before eating. Most are larger and slightly more angular in shape than ‘sweet’ bananas Edited January 25, 2021 by userabcd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that modern bananas were seedless and only reproduced via daughter plants which left them vulnerable to disease. Seems not, although whether you can actually grow a plant from those seeds ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2093 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Those are the type of Bananas I see they feed elephants, make fried banana and put out front the houses for the spirits. Not the tastiest verity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LomSak27 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I have ran into them also, or chomped into them. It's strange that they just started to appear in the last month or so. Maybe a plant virus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drtreelove Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 It's God's idea to put seeds in fruit, bananas are included. The photo is of NamWa variety, the tastiest and the only variety that I like to eat. But yes, sometimes you get some with seeds, chomp carefully until you rule out a seed filled banana. Or buy a different variety. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eat a very similar looking type of banana very often. In fact it is my and my wife's favorite. Even when it appears too old or bruised, the flesh is still firm, unblemished and delicious. I have yet to encounter seeds in the ones I've bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I've only had it once or twice, big black seeds in a rogue bunch of bananas, I don't know how you tell, I reckon it's specific mutant trees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristianBlessing Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Kluay Nam Wa bananas are the most consumed bananas in Thailand. What you encountered were not "inedible little rocks" that someone put in them, but seeds. But do like the imagery of your description. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree on that, the flesh itself was great and very tasteful, absolutely worth eating raw in itself. Also the outer ugliness drives the price down which is nice. Nam Wa... Got it guys, thank you. I shall try my luck with them again and hope for the best. PS: Can't wait for durian season.
