A banana is an edible fruit – botanically a berry – produced by several
|
||
kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa.
|
||
|
||
In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called "plantains",
|
||
distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size,
|
||
color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft
|
||
flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow,
|
||
red, purple, or brown when ripe.
