I’ll bet that this doesn’t look like the type of banana you are used to eating, and for good reason. Banana seeds are naturally inedible, and the flesh of the fruit is fairly hard. Around 8,000 years ago, humans began domesticating bananas. After generations of artificial selection, the banana’s flesh became softer and sweeter. The bananas available at your grocery store have been designed to be seedless for added convenience, though it does leave the plant unable to reproduce in the wild.
