4 Fascinating Facts About Banana Robusta You Didn't Know

- Agricultural Marvel: Robusta bananas are triploid plants, meaning they're technically sterile and produce no seeds. Every banana robusta is a genetic clone, propagated through offshoots called "suckers" - making them one of the world's largest seedless fruit crops.

- Radiation Detector: Bananas contain enough naturally occurring potassium-40 to be slightly radioactive, leading to the creation of the "Banana Equivalent Dose" (BED) - a whimsical measurement used by scientists to explain radiation exposure to the public in relatable terms.

- Emergency Food: During natural disasters, bananas robusta are often distributed as emergency food due to their sturdy nature, nutritional value, and protective peel. Their natural packaging and easy digestibility make them ideal for disaster relief efforts.

- Color-Changing Chemistry: The browning of banana flesh is due to an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase, which creates melanin (the same pigment found in human skin). This reaction happens so reliably that banana extracts were once used in early photography processes to create sepia tones.
