Banana Seeds

[Quran871]

@AuronWarrior Haha I now right

[sammew123]

So the banana has to be overgrown for u to find the seeds

[TrangertoR]

@sammew123 for a seed you have to wait a little bit longer than any product from plants cuz the seeds coming out after the flowering process is done. i know that if you get a sack of seed from dried flower they are perfect is the same with banana you have to let it ripen on a tree first then take the seeds. peace

This is a breed of banana that monkeys would eat in the wild. It is a different kind of banana that we usually consume. I don't think there wouldn't be enough banana after 20 years because Philippines got one of the biggest plantation of bananas which existed over the years.

[lunhil12]

Anyone able to clarify ? My Puerto Rican friends call some guineos and others platanos.

[desertrosetx]

@lunhil12 Guineo is the banana fruit. The sweet one that you eat as a fruit and does not need to be cooked to be eaten.. Platano is the plantain that must be cooked before eaten. Larger than the fruit banana they. can be boiled or fried. In Puerto Rico the cooked green plantain is used in the dish Mofongo. In Cuban cooking it is Fufu same as in Africa.

[lunhil12]

@desertrosetx I use the platanos to make tostones. I learned to cook from an old PR girlfriend and her mother, hehe.

[desertrosetx]

@lunhil12 cool! They are sooooo good. The ried ripe plantains too :)

[lunhil12]

I think these are whats called "Platanos" or "Plantains". A type of bananna thats meant to be cooked. They are not sweet like the ones you find in the supermarket . Find them in stores that have Latin American produce in the USA, they are tasty when prepared, usually as a side dish like french fries or mashed and made into fritters and other preparations but Ive never seen seeds in them so...

[atah275]

isn't that a musa basjoo?

[Alina674]

it's funny to read these silly comments because some of you people have no idea what you are talking about! Bananas like the ones you are used to eating are clones (pups grown from the mother plant). There are many different bananas. You will find some with seeds, without, & some just ornamental. The reason they say we "may" not have bananas to eat in 20yrs. is because of diseases like rot & if the bananas get wiped out they'll have to start working on hybridizing the bananas all over again.

[RabidLarmer]

(Groan!) That is not a Banana.

[AayKayJay]

@RabidLarmer .....

These are very much the stuff you want to deny, Bananas. Yup,maybe wild breed.

[5tonyvvvv]

@AayKayJay Will the cultivated banana tress produce fruit every year? or do u need the wild seeds over and over?

[pancakefactory]

@5tonyvvvv the banana PLANT (it is not in the tree family) will fruit once after 18 months. then it will not fruit anymore. instead this plant will grow a "child plant" from the base and once the parent plant has fruited and is done fruiting you can cut the parent plant down to the base making sure you do not cut the child plant. and from there it will grow.

[Bowserboyproductions]

Bananas do have seeds the bananas widely consumed by most countries are genetically altered to have smaller seeds this is a wild banana the bananas everyone eats also have seeds if you look closely in the middle of one those little black dots are banana seeds

[danieluyanguren]

we have to much like that in the farm

[ratedEG]

this guy is selling junk to tourist.

[danieluyanguren]

banana don't have seeds only roots

[jquinones55]

i think thats not a banana

[buraktigin]

Its a banana, its a natural banana, humans have altered the banana to what you know today, a process that has taken hundreds of years.

[shitzulovey]

I have been searching for banana seeds.

[AuronWarrior]

where you get banana with seeds?

[nocomplygumbo]

@AuronWarrior

You have to find wild bananas, or order seeds via the internet. most commercial brands haven't been pollenated, meaning that they have no seeds.

[Nishiki83]

most commercial brands have three genes, where normally wild bananas have two. THAT is why they have no seeds.

[samljer]

true, or the seeds they do have are sterile and just rot when u try.

[broemaas]

Very bad

[AayKayJay]

What is? The video? The banana? The banana seeds? Or the banana having the seeds?

Do you know, there may be no banana around in another 20 years? In any case they one of my favorite fruit, along with mangoes.

[0Dist]

@AayKayJay In 20 years if our technology stays at its current level and no biotech companies interfere, that is

[mechanicalbu11]

@AayKayJay i don't think so, there are those of us who grow bananas at home so at least the homeowner will have them 1000 years to come. that if the government permits home ownership in the coming years and you know government types they will kill their own mothers if it helps their agenda.

[ouhouhcflo]

Video with a very poor quality! Could the cameraman stop moving around?

Clear explaination are missing as well too bad!

[Spartan2Mike127]

Those are wild bananas, right? The cultivated ones have very small seeds.

[AayKayJay]

Well, these bananas grew right in the courtyard of the place where i used to stay (check out the other video titled "babana flowers and ......"). You can see me cutting the banaba bunch-with the flower intact from the tree.

Yes, otherwise, you're correct, babanas are usually without or with very small seeds inside. The later i hate.

[YoHomieTreehousePie]

spelled "banana" wrong like 10 times XD

[JD1stTimer]

You should spell some words in Hindi. XD

[BambiBlue]

@AayKayJay You spelled 'banana' three different ways in that one comment.

[AayKayJay]

Cool.I'll check that out.

[BananasDotOrg]

Great video!

[AayKayJay]

It was quiet a new thing for me to learn at first as well. Though it may interest others as well. Thanks for your comments though!

[Yaniian]

So are bananas w/out seeds GMO?
