B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
Have you ever wondered why there's only one variety of banana but a dozen or more varieties of apples at your grocery store?
How about why bananas, grown across oceans, are half the price of locally grown apples?
To get these answers, and to learn more about the most fascinating fruit in the supermarket, I'm joined by Dan Koeppel in this episode. Dan is the author of the book, Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World.
Tune in to learn…
-How a seedless fruit continues to reproduce,
-Why your grandpa's banana was different than your banana,
-How & where you can try different varieties of bananas,
-If the apple consumed by Eve in the Garden of Eden was actually a banana,
-If bananas will still exist as we know them in the future,
-& so much more!
