Hi all. When I was a wee lad my family had a tabletop game that had things like trivia and riddles and “spot the lie” stories.
One of the stories was about a banana plantation and the lie was related to the person telling the story claiming that the bananas were yellow.
The explanation of the lie was that bananas aren’t harvested while yellow, because if they are not harvested while green, the starch will not turn into sugar and you will have a yellow, non sweet banana that nobody would want to buy.
I think about this story often when dealing with buying bananas and their varying degrees of ripeness. I wanted to fact check it, but so far all I’ve found is that the reason they aren’t picked while yellow is: they’re easier to transport while green, they ripen off the vine just fine, and if left on the tree they are likely to split.
So far I haven’t seen anything about the starch not turning into sugar.
Was I lied to?
Dwarf namwah banana, zone 10. Is there enough warmth left in the year for these babies to grow and be edible?
It's been three years since I got the first banana plant and several mishaps maimed it, but this tree is that one's pup and has absolutely thrived. It produced seven pups of its own as well, plenty to grow in its place when it is done growing. It's also taller than I was expecting it to grow, though that might make harvesting hard. I'm proud of this tree.
Froze them all & had a laugh. Luckily, I had more fresh bananas.

Just bit into a banana and it had this odd, hard, dark brown……. thing in it. What is it? And why does this have to happen to me the one day I decide to eat breakfast?
