About Bananas

 

 

The banana plant is grown all over the tropics for its fruit.  Half of the world's banana crop is grown in Africa.  Central and South America export bananas to other parts of the world.  Bananas grow in bunches.  Plantain is a type of banana that is larger and coarser.  It isn't as sweet.
