Banana

Bananas are native to the tropical region of Southeast Asia and Australia.

They are cultivated primarily for their fruit. The fruit come in a variety of sizes and colours when ripe, including yellow, purple and red.

Bananas can be eaten raw though some varieties are generally cooked first.

As the bananas are mainly tall, upright, and fairly sturdy, they are often mistaken for trees, when the truth is the main or upright stem is called a pseudostem, literally meaning "fake stem", which for some species can obtain a height of up to 2–8 m, with leaves of up to 3.5 m in length.

Each pseudostem can produce a bunch of yellow, green, or even red bananas before dying and being replaced by another pseudostem.
