RE: Scientists trying to save wild banana crop from seasonal disease
In East Africa there is a banana which is double or triple the size of the nomral banana, the skin has a maroon colour when ripe and the fruit is pink. When ripe it has a strong but pleasant smell and to me, they are the best tasting.
The locals prefer to eat them while green - they cook them.
I wonder if these are also susceptible to the same disease.
