Are We Really Eating Bananas

at 17:16

From the episode: Finless Foods’ Mike Selden: “We brew fish meat”

Answer

No. According to Selden, there was a disease that wiped out all the bananas in the world in the 50s. So, the bananas that we eat now are actually from a different plant that we refer to as the banana. If you eat a banana flavored candy, you are not truly tasting the banana that we eat today.
