I honestly saw this and though "what could he possibly tell us about nanners?" LOL. Once again, I vastly underestimated the man. Very very interesting

A guy I know down in Lake Placid, FL who is also a Master Gardener for the county extension office has a load of all different kinds he grows in his yard. Bananas from India, Vietnam, and other Asian countries as well as Latin American varieties. He knows all about them telling me their botanical names and they do have their own individual flavors a far cry from the grocery variety. Large ones, small ones, different colored ones, and odd shaped ones. Now I just call him the banana man. I see some discarded ones also now growing in the wild among other foreign plants that don't belong there. I have a banana tree growing in my back yard now and when it fruits I may be able to ID it. The trees themselves look the same to me but I am sure there are identifying features of each variety. Interesting uses, nutrition, and ITEMized break down. Nice video. Good luck with the book! Thanks for sharing.

We have bananas in west Virginia. Some people call the Paw Paw the mountain banana, ha ha!!

Pink Bananas, be nice to have some Pink Bananas today ~ EVEN Fermented. Really Cool, sorry i didn't know of them - till Now. THANKS So Much! Revisit Anytime. : } *Knock Knock* lol _just thought i'd start._

Excellent. Thank you.

I steam fish in the bananas leaves. I made chicken soup with the banana tree that was chopped down and those bananas blossoms are very tasty in the Laos foods.

We're growing bananas in an unheated hoop house on the Central California coast. And getting fruit! Too bad the gophers love them.

Nearly everyone in our village (Thailand) has bananas, no idea which kind. Nobody seems to know about other edible species, and the wild bananas that grow up north in the hills - on stony, arid soil - are certainly inedible, whether cooked or not, just a mass of hard seeds and little pulp. Thanks for the video, very informative.

I remember when I used to find seeds in my bananas. That was back in the eighties.

Hi long time. I haven't seen your videos l love. Then please make some more. You look same. Because you eat. Good. Things 👍🙏. Hope to see more of you. You helping. We people to be like you.

Thank you green Dean!

Good to see you and great video your the best

Thanks for the info!

So glad to see you back doing these. Thank you. Good job.

So glad you're back! I had almost given up hope; and it was such a happy surprise when I decided to check your channel again. I'll be playing "catch-up" tonight. Stay well and please keep making your wonderful videos! P.S. I hate lawns, too. ;)

Nice 👍

The pink bananas are so cute! My darling niece loves bananas and eats them every time she comes to visit me. I was excited to see the seeds because I've never seen a banana seed! Maybe you could go on tour when your book comes out? We could explore the wild edibles in my area! Come for morel season!

Love your videos dean! Thanks for uploading. Looking forward to reading your book. And just a few words of constructive criticism/request. please record or export your video with the audio of your voice in both channels (left and right). I use head phones at work and it would sound alot better for us headphone users if your voice was sent to both ears instead of just the left.

I live in a tropical county and saw those pink bananas all the time used as landscaping because they are short and looks exotic. I thought they where flowers, never knew they could be eaten. Here we have tones of different bananas. I planted some big red ones they are my fav. I also have the small ones we call ice cream bananas because they are so creamy and some fat ones that are meh but still edible. We eat green bananas boiled so I plant a lot of the regular ones also. I will be adding those pink bananas since I know they are food as well. Thanks for the info.

Thanx for these videos Sir. I love to learn, and bananas are my favorite plant. I have some theories on saving our bananas without GMO practices. Peace N Love

I don"t know what kind of Banana they have in West Africa, but they are small and DELICIOUS!!!

Got some blue ones in southern california

There are inedible banana species, but you're not going to find them outside of their natural habitat because there's absolutely no reason for people to introduce them anywhere else. So I can(almost) guarantee you won't find a banana that can't be eaten somehow either cooked or raw in North or South America.

Bananas are considered a transplant in Southern Louisiana but they're still quite a few of us who still eat them we call them cooking bananas

I find that the burro banana is the most common banana found here in Florida. generally I get bananas about a year from when it first sprouts. I never knew the pink bananas were edible. More than 30 years ago I got seeded bananas as samples from the banana nursery and planted them and the seeds eventually grew into some large plants. Are all banana seeds edible?

What are you cooking Mary Ann? Banana cream Pie.

What about frying them like a plantain ?? Have you tried it that way ?? Just sounds sensible to me. 🤷‍♀️👍

Thanks again for the great content! On your last two videos, the sound fades out after the first 10 seconds and doesn't return for almost a minute.

I'd love some of those pink banana plants. Is there anyone that has some available? I have a huge selection of permaculture edible species I could trade or otherwise I would pay.

I watch your 12 year old video😅 and im shock you re still update

I tried to join your forum many months ago. Said that I needed approved by a moderator. However waited and waited but nobody approved it. I still want to join. If I try signing up again would there be somebody now to approve it?

NO SOUND, WHATS UP WITH THAT?
