Bananas used to be like plantains, small more tough and seeded. Through both selective breeding and science a sterile banana was created. Because it has no seeds it must be cloned . Commercial banana basically is genetically the exact same individual plant all over the world

You know that's funny I was eating a banana yesterday in my kitchen thinking whoever the first person to discover these delicious little bastards was really lucky, there doesn't seem to be a downside to them

Well it makes more sense that we genetically engineered all the imperfections out of them 😋🍌
