What are Some Different Types of Bananas?
There over 1000 types of bananas in the world, many of them differing slightly in appearance, size, taste and use. A main difference exists between two types of bananas, those that you can immediately eat, sometimes called dessert bananas, and those that need to be cooked prior to eating and are higher in starch, called plantains. Again, the number and types that fall into these two subgroups are striking. There are a few types that are easily distinguishable in a basic grocery store.
