Depending on the grower, bananas can contain the remnants of seeds, evidenced
by the little black dots in the center of the banana, or they can be sterile.
The black stem that sometimes remains at the end is what remains of the
flower.
While bananas are sweet and usually eaten raw, plantains are firm, not sweet,
and area cooking staple in tropical regions. |
