I prefer apple banana. Well, I grow 3 types of banana in my garden. Apple banana, Cavendish ones and Lady Fingers. I didn't know this but, according to scientists, we might not be able to eat bananas anymore in 20 years from now because they will be wiped out by disease. The reason being the cloning of the one type called Cavendish banana or the ordinary one that you find everywhere. Pic.1 Apple banana
If you can, plant your banana. It is my favourite snack and I have it permanently in the fruit bowl. I remember that when I was young, I went through a whole year hiding from my parents and eating mostly bananas during the day. Well, I didn't die from it! Those of you who knew me then, please don't laugh! I love everything about banana. I think it is the most useful food plant on earth.
Banana is full of nutrition, its leaves are very useful for cooking, its peels are very good for your skin, and it is of a great value for energy, digestion, heart health and leaving you all relaxed!

This one is called Gros Michel and I use this type for making the Malagasy pudding Koba that I posted earlier on. For me, it is the sweetest of all bananas.

So good to know. I was just looking at how I can grow some in the UP of Michigan. I think there is a container variety that I try.
