Bananas are a common name given to large giant leafy terna plants extending from the Musaceae tribe. Some types (Musa acuminata, M. balbisiana, and M. x paradisiaca) produce a fruit of consumption called the same. The fruit is arranged in clusters with groups composed of fingers called combs. Almost all bananas have yellow skin when ripe, some with orange, red, green, purple, or even black. Banana fruit as a food ingredient is a source of energy (carbohydrates) and minerals, especially.
Keep in mind, the term "banana" is also used for types that do not produce fruit consumption, such as abaca bananas, ornamental bananas, and banana fan.
