Know your bananas

Tweet

A finger, hand and a bunch or stalk is how bananas are known as. A single banana is known has a finger, a group of fingers attached fingers attached is obviously known as a hand and all hands put together they are known as a bunch or stalk. What you see in the image is a bunch. That bunch grew in our garden. From the time of planting until the time the bananas are ready for harvesting it takes more than a year. When one sees a single ripe banana that is the time to harvest it. The plant then becomes redunandant and is uprooted. Some prepare dishes from the stem. I have prepared it and it tastes nice. There are many types of bananas and this link will tell you more We had 8 types and now we are struggling to get even a single variety all because of wild trees that have taken over. No regrets.
