Did you know that there are over 500 different types of bananas. That means if you ate a different kind of banana everyday, it would take almost a year and a half to eat every one.
Bananas are most likely the first fruit ever to be grown on a farm.
Bananas might have first been found in Asia. The first bananas to reach the United States came to New York City from Cuba in 1804. They were often sold one at a time in tinfoil wrappings. In the United States the most commonly eaten yellow banana is the Cavendish. It is long, plump, and golden yellow.
