Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations
1283 readers

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

There are actually over 1000 different varieties of Bananas and Plantains in the world, that are actively farmed.
Cavendish is the most basic one (found in grocery stores) because the previous most dominant sort was heavily damaged by disease (but not rendered extinct like many think).
Even tropical Cavendish is delicious because the ones in stores are picked when they are unripe and not able to develop much sugar.
Here are just a few of the more common sorts of bananas in the world.
This is a great reference, thank you! I don’t know where the hell I got the idea that only one type of banana existed
Blue Java bananas are freaking amazing. They're actually blue, and taste like berry ice cream. I don't get why we don't grow more of them.
Capitalism resists change. They already have the system set up for Canvendish Bananas, why shake things up and spend money growing and distributing Blue Java bananas?
