Edit Reason: spelling
It really is amazing how the just-in-time works. I try to find the four-finger bunch of bananas at the store because that is what lasts when I have one a day with breakfast. Well, every few weeks. Usually the last banana always get a little mushy! But that's okay chopped up in granola and yogourt.
Yes not much variety because they're so sensitive! And don't freeze. Or can. Pretty much all you do is make those dried unrehydratable banana chips which are tasty but too much added sugar and they always get stuck in molars! Sheesh, like all-day bananas.
Oh and I have a neat little banana stand with a hook so they don't touch shelf or counter; they last longer. And keeping them cool helps too. Don't know if light or lack thereof helps, like potatoes?
The banana flavour that is artificial is odd too, apparently it was invented back last century and then it tasted like bananas but since they selected the ones you get in the store now that are different that's the only place you get that particular flavour anymore and they don't taste alike at all. Still tasty actually although some people hate it.
What's awesome are plantains which are like bananas or a type of them. Great to make like 3/4" slices of them and then deep-fry them a little then you let them cool a tiny bit and then squish them down with a glass to make little pancakes and sprinkle them with confectioners sugar. A great snack! South American I think.
It is like Irish potato blight - the hazards of monoculture.

I followed the Science, and all I found was the Money.
