Is banana a winter fruit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bananas are not traditionally associated with a specific season, as they are available year-round in many parts of the world. Unlike some fruits that have distinct growing seasons and may be more abundant or flavorful during certain times of the year, bananas are grown in tropical and subtropical regions where the climate allows for year-round cultivation.

Bananas are a popular and versatile fruit that can be found in grocery stores and markets regardless of the season. Their availability is less influenced by seasonal changes than fruits that are more regionally specific.

So, while bananas may not be considered winter fruit in the traditional sense, they are enjoyed and consumed consistently throughout the year in various climates.

Do non ripen bananas ripen quicker next to rip bananas?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Many ripening fruit produce the hydrocarbon gas ethylene as they ripen, which itself triggers more ripening. Bananas are especially productive sources of the gas, and putting one that's in the process of going brown next to apples, pears or hard avocados will greatly speed up their ripening.

Is a Banana a herb or berry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A banana tree is not actually classified as a tree due to the fact that it has no wood fibers. So it is actually a plant, IE: Herb. A berry is an indehiscent fruit with two or more seeds and a fleshy pericarp, which is exactly what a banana is. This is not a debate it is fact that bananas are berries. But of course most will argue just as most debated that avocados are veggies and not a fruit which we all know now they are actually a type of fruit

How does ethylene gas accelerate the ripening of a banana?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ethylene gas is a plant hormone that triggers fruit ripening in many plants. The plants start producing ethylene themselves to synchronize ripening of all the fruit on the tree at the same time.
Humans use ethylene gas to allow them to pick unripe fruit (which will survive better in transportation over long distances than ripe fruit could) and trigger ripening at the destination shortly before selling the fruit to the public.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User
