Well obvoiusly a banana will taste different after a few years, it'll probably taste rotten though. I wouldnt reccomend leaving your bananas somewhere for a few years before eating them.
Well then.
it appears ive been doing it wrong
The fuck
I do, however, recommend doing exactly this with Peeps.

@@Versuffe And the even worse taste that their children will have in 2100 school.......

Good
Isn't that also why artificial banana flavor tastes so different, because they're based on the old type of banana?
Yep. All banana flavored things are using the old Gros Michel flavor formula. No one bothered making a Cavendish artificial flavoring since they already had a "banana flavor" they could use.
@@xyex that is really fascinating
This one's actually a myth, sort of. Artificial banana flavour is created with isoamyl acetate because it tastes a bit like banana (being a major component of bananas) and it's cheap, but it wasn't explicitly based on Gros Michel. That said, however, Gros Michel, being sweeter than Cavendish, does taste more similar to sweets flavoured with isoamyl acetate than Cavendish does.
i hope not because i hate artificial banana (and watermelon) flavors
@@gergogaal568 me too. And grape. And raspberry.
There is a variety of banana called the Goldfinger that I read is tr4 resistant. It is being grown in Australia in response to tr4, but failed in the market years ago. It might be the next banana.
i think the best way to go is to grow many varieties of bananas like we do with tomatoes. that way people get a choice and also if one dies out it won't wreck havoc
@@coagulatedsalts4711 Absolutely. We're definitely short sighted in our approach to agriculture. I think I read something about bananas being fairly unpredictable when pollenating. That's why it's all the exact same plant, because a lot of the time the results are gross.
I think it's a job for us home growers, because the big companies won't take a risk. If we grow out bananas in our yards and create more varieties, there's be new ones to try. We can afford to fail in our own yards.
Goldfinger bananas are definitely popular enough here in Aus! Wonderful to learn they're TR4 resistant, but ultimately, this does seem like a cautionary tale against monoculturing anything, including Goldfingers.

I heard Dakota bananas are good. But I can’t get any due to Murphy’s law.
If you've had anything that's artificial banana flavor and though "this doesn't taste like banana" then it was based on the gros michel flavor.
@@thekwoka4707 wow, that’s cool. I didn’t know that.
"There are over 1,000 different varieties of bananas, about half of which are inedible."
These are the top 10:
1. Cavendish Banana
The Cavendish banana is your “typical” banana found at the local grocery store or farmer’s market. They are slightly sweet and have a creamy texture. They have various stages of ripening, from green to yellow, to yellow with brown spots. They’re grown all across Central America, and their production is essential to the economies in these areas.
2. Pisang Raja
Pisang Raja bananas are popular in Indonesia. Featuring a yellow to orange color, they taste like honey-flavored custard with a smooth and creamy consistency. They’re slightly smaller than Cavendish Bananas, averaging four to six inches in length.
3. Red Banana
As their name suggests, red bananas have a reddish-purple skin. They have light pink colored flesh and are much sweeter and softer than Cavendish bananas. They also have a slight raspberry flavor that makes them absolutely irresistible.
4. Lady Finger Banana
Lady Finger bananas, also known as baby bananas, are sweeter and smaller than Cavendish bananas. They’re usually around three inches in length and feature a creamy texture and sweet flavor with notes of honey.
5. Blue Java Banana
Blue Java bananas are also known as the ice cream banana due to their sweet vanilla flavor and extreme creaminess. They feature a beautiful blue peel and a white flesh. They’re actually pretty hardy and can grow in colder regions.
6. Plantain
Plantains are a subgroup of bananas that are referred to as cooking bananas. They have a high starch content and are typically used in savory dishes. They aren’t typically consumed raw. They’re a food staple in West and Central Africa, the Caribbean islands, and Central America.
7. Manzano Banana
The Manzano Banana is sweeter than Cadvendish bananas with a hint of crunchy apple-strawberry flavor. They’re grown in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Mexico. They’re short and chubby with think yellow skins that turn black when fully ripe.
8. Burro Banana
Burro bananas have a lemony and tangy taste, which makes them one of the most unique types of bananas. They have a flatter, smaller and more square shape than Cavendish bananas. The flesh is creamy white or yellow and is soft with some firmness in the center.
9. Barangan Banana
Yellow with small black dots, the Barangan banana has a sweet, mild taste. The flesh is white with no seeds. It’s a popular variety and is eaten as a dessert in many regions across the tropics.
10. Goldfinger Banana
The Goldfinger banana was first grown in Honduras by a team of scientists as a pest-resistant banana. It can be cooked when green and eaten raw once fully ripe. It’s similar to the Cavendish banana, with its eventual aim to replace the more susceptible-to-disease variety.

For anyone curious who doesn't want to spend $100 on bananas, get banana runts candy. The candy banana flavor is closer to the original banana flavor than the modern Cavendish. The texture is of course completely wrong, since runts are a hard candy, but the chemical used to create the flavor is the more intense and sweeter style of gros michel.
Always wondered why it was so sweet compared to the rest. It's like "grape, apple, orange, and uh. Sugar ball mixed with a hint of banana?"
Gros Michel is not more or less original than Cavendish, just a different variety that was more common in the past.
Original Bananas are basically a starchy paste surrounding 80% seeds by volume.
@@Azaghal1988 It was the original mass marketed banana, I'm sorry you didn't grasp that from context.
The majority of bananas sold to consumers have been going through selective breeding for centuries, that one was the original to go worldwide on a mass market global scale.
My fav candy ever, I only like the banana ones lol-
ive had gros michel, they dont taste the same, it tastes more like the candy than cavendish but its kinda like if someone never had strawberries, and you gave them strawberry candy
Gros Michel is still grown and sold in Malaysia. And being the region where bananas originate, I am spoiled for choice with regards to which bananas I can choose, from smol 3 inch bananas to bananas the size of the horn of a cattle. Cavendish is bland in comparison.
Damn bro I’m on my way 😂

Just another chapter in the best-seller “Monoculture.”
The thing is, banana is a sterile hybrid. There is no alternative. It’s either cavendish banana or no banana.
And mixing different crops in the same field won’t stop a virus like TR4. It may slow it down, but won’t fix the problem.
So, monoculture has a lot of problems, but in this specific case, it is not the cause.
These are worse than monoculture. Bananas are all clones. No way to breed sterile banana plants so every crop tree is a cutting from another crop tree or a "mother" tree.
@@PhilLesh69 THEN HOW THEY COME TO BE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!
@@UltimatePerfection through selective breeding
@@Pesso86 there are many different banana varieties. Problem is, most banana varieties are no good commercially due to not being perfectly yellow, tasting different, having varying sizes, too squishy for shipping, etc.
Big banana wants bananas that are exactly like the Cavendish, but is resistant to TRP4, because they believe nobody would want to buy a fat and stout, fist sized, overly sweet banana with black spots all over. Or a red oversized banana. Or god forbid, a green banana that's almost like the Cavendish, but is green when ripened.
Can confirm. I worked on a banana farm and you had to WADE through a trough of essentially bleach water or something before entering the farm. Ankle deep minimum. The farm vehicles needed to follow a similar process if they ever left the sterile area.
I'll think of you next time I pop open a nice refreshing naner

My girlfriend is from indonesia. When she first came to US and had a cavendish banana she said it tastes bad. She said that cavendish exists in indonesia but it is more expensive than other bananas that taste better so it isn’t very popular. She grew up with gros michel (Indonesia apparently is one of the few countries with gros michel still being cultivated) and other amazing banana varieties. I hope someday I can fly to indonesia and get my hands on gros michel.

You missed out that the Cavendish has the same weakness as the Gross Michelle and that it is in fact artificial, named in honour of Duke William Cavendish who received an early specimen and its thought that all current Cavendish bananas in the world originate from that plant. Seriously though, the history of banana farming is crazy.
If we're going to eventually go down the route of Genetically modified Banana's to make them resistant to disease, why not put that effort into bringing back the older tastier nanners instead?
I was thinking about the same. Then I remembered that this refined genetic engineering that we have today didn't exist when Gros Michels went extinct everywhere but in Asia.
I think because the global export banana supply chain is specifically tuned for Cavendish banana ripening times. Different banana types would require different supply chain timings.
I believe that is one of the plans.
As Ronaldo G. said, the logistics probably play a large role - if it decreases corporate profits it isn't gonna happen. But another potential contributor is that the tastes and expectations of people have adapted to the Cavendish variety. I heard somewhere a few years ago that the artificial bananas flavor (ex: banana Laffy Taffy) which a lot of people myself included don't like, is based off the Gros Michel. But it's not because it tastes bad per se, it just throws my brain off because it is so different from what I am expecting. Even if we could get the Gros Michel back, maybe people just wouldn't like it as much as the past generations did.
But now that I'm typing this, why wouldn't the companies that use artificial flavors just make one that conforms to the expectations of everyone that has never had a Gros Michel? I have so many questions...
@@HappyGick but since it still exist we can still get the genetic material needed, hell we can alter both versions and have different banana flavours to choose from

Fun fact: the Gros Michel contains a high concentration of chemical compound called 'isoamyl acetate' which is used in everything banana-flavored, so you can actually taste them without spending 116$ on the real thing. It has been the go-to flavor since forever, and used ever since.

Apparently, you can taste what a Gros Michel pretty easily.

That's not true, and it's an over-simplification of the situation. Banana flavored candy only contains one flavor chemical, isoamyl acetate, and occasionally a few others to make it taste slightly more "real." This chemical is found in both gros michel and cavendish. On its own, it doesn't taste much like a real banana of either variety. It tastes like banana flavored candy. Just like articifial cherry flavor doesn't taste like real cherries. All real foods have a complex combination of acids, bases, essential oils, and volatile compounds that add to the flavor profile, but also require aromatic compounds to trigger your sense of smell to get the flavor just right. Without smell, most foods taste pretty bland.

yup uhh i eat like the long banana (tasty as hek) and the one's spefically for with food
I think the long banana is a cavendish

This video is reverse clickbait.
Actual content says bananas are all gonna die.(unless gmo)
Thumbnail says banana gonna taste different.
That's what I thought too.
Taste different because they will have to become GMO bananas...
Both are not contradictory. All bananas are gonna die, so as we will probably create a new banana, which will taste different than the previous one, therefore banana as a whole will taste different.
@@jean-baptistechopin1799 I never said they were contradictory, but they can be purported to be. If all bananas die, which bananas can still *live* to taste different? For either statement to be true, the other must be false.
@@amistrophy Then you're misunderstanding the phrasing. The "bananas" that taste different are bananas as the idea of banana, the fruit as whole, with all its known past varieties. "Banana" itself, not "Gros Michel Banana" or "Cavendish Banana" specifically.
Gros Michel, is why banana flavored candy don't seem to actually taste like bananas, Cavendishs weren't the popular banana when the flavoring for the candy was invented.
Pro tip : the "S" in "Gros Michel" is silent (I'm pretty sure it's a French word, feel free to correct me)

Imagine all the Karens at grocery stores going bananas complaining that there are no bananas left
After watching this, I made a quick research about the bananas we have here in Philippines and oh boy there are like, 13 different varieties of bananas that we can choose from (although I've only really tasted 5 of them lmao), there's even a red one that I never knew about until now.

We have the Cavendish here in Brazil (for the locals, I think Nanica is a Cavendish, hope I'm not mistaken), but there are other more popular varieties, like the ones we call Prata and Maçã (meaning literally "Silver" and "Apple" bananas).

Ew a nazi
@@Void_Wars what?
I see you everywhere Napoleon.
i'm from brazil, and down here we have at least 5 other banana varieties.
nanica (dwarf cavendish) is apparently not the same as cavendish but similar so i guess it's the standard.
maçã (apple) is fat and short, has an astringent aftertaste, and i personally don't like it.
prata (silver) is a bit like the cavendish but usually straighter with a smooth skin and tastes slightly better imo.
ouro (gold) is really tiny, fits in the palm of your hand, and tastes like a piece of heaven itself. i'd wager it's better than the fabled gros michel.
and finally, banana da terra (earth banana) which is starchy and used for cooking, eating it raw is just painful

In my local lingo, Cavendish Bananas are called something that literally translates to "Bananas of the Sea". I don't know why!
They originally came from England, an island nation and far from most banana growing regions. Maybe that's why.
so instead of making resistant GMO cavendish bananas, could we just make resistant GMO gros michel bananas instead?

I don't see any comments questioning the statement at 5:11, that Crisco is defunct. What alternate dimension are you living in, Sam? Crisco isn't defunct at all.
I’m placing bets on how many times sam doesn’t say banana
Where's a GMO when you damn need it!!

If you are ever in Kauai make sure you have a banana, they are grown on the island and I think they may be Gros Michelle's. They are smaller, more flavorful and much sweeter, I eat them everyday when I'm there. The first time I had one I was super surprised, they actually taste more like "banana" flavored things than typical bananas do.
As a Burmese, this video is totally mind-blowing. Here, if you go to a store and ask for a banana, the confused shopkeeper will look at you and ask what kind of banana you want. I can think of four totally different types of bananas just while writing this comment.
“There is a Fungus among us”
Yes
Yes
Hold up
There are so many varieties of bananas found in our country that it seems so weird that some people never tasted more than one type of banana....and I love wild bananas, the crunchy seeds makes them the perfect healthy yet tasty snack ....
I should be sleeping but I am here knowing why bananas will taste different
Can't wait for youtube to recommend this in 2025, it will be interesting to see if this is right
The graveyard scene with the veggies 😂😂😂😂😂😂
as a monke, this hits me hard to know that our bananas won't last long😔
5:25 It's a banana, Michael. How much could it cost? 10 dollars?
