The most widely eaten variety of banana, the Cavendish, does not have seeds. It is a mutant which is cultivated precisely because people prefer not to have seeds in their bananas (just as they like seedless grapes, watermelons, etc.). However, bananas with seeds do exist. All fruit originally have seeds, because that is the evolutionary purpose of fruit, to get animals to disperse the seeds of the plant. Fruit are not going to evolve unless they serve some purpose for the plants upon which the fruit grows. However, you can get a seedless mutation, and since we humans like the seedless fruit, we cultivate it.

Do bananas help with diarrhea?
Bananas help in a very important way, but not because they bind you or actively stop the diarrhea. Bananas are a good source of potassium, an important element for the health of the nervous system and for other things. And you lose a lot of potassium when you have serious diarrhea. I am not a physician, so if this is inaccurate I am counting on others to edit.
Essentially none. A medium banana has .4 grams of fat, of which .1 is saturated. Remember, bananas can be an excellent way to include fruit in your diet and fats don't make you fat- excessive calories do.
You can, but your dog would probably get diarrhea. It would make him sick. Dogs can eat table food like chicken, turkey, and crackers; but never fruit or vegetables. It's not good for them. And remember: NEVER FEED YOUR DOG CHOCOLATE EVER EVER EVER EVER!!!!!!

In some cases, yes it can. Since banana's have a lot of potassium in it, then it will add some "healthy weight", making the body more fit. They are natural, unless grown with certain types of chemicals. So, look for the sticker on most bananas. Overall, bananas will not add fat, but may help build bones and strengthen muscle.
Can you really slip on a banana peel?
because, knowing this 'cause I've slipped on one before, it's because the inside is like moist, and sticky from the banana so when you step on it and move your foot you slip
Because it is very sticky so when you step on it you will fall.

Irish agriculture is primarily a grass-based industry (i.e. silage, hay, and pasture).
However, if the question is not based on industry and more on what can be grown in Ireland then when it comes to fruit that is suited to Ireland, things like gooseberry, grapes, apples, and black currant will grow fine. In addition, hardy vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and squash will grow well there as well.
Do plantain banana's grow from seeds?
No. Banana plants (They are not called trees) do not grow from seeds. It is because they lost their ability to produce seeds a very very long time ago (It is not known if they ever produced seeds). So they are grown by a vegetative mode of propagation. It is something more like replacing the older plants. Banana plants grow from rhizomes or bulbs. In this way, the original plant is replaced (Banana is a perennial plant which replaces itself).

Why is your banana plant leaves turning brown?
Possible causes include insufficient watering, fungal infection or cold weather.
Give them full sun and lots of water. The tops of the plants may die down in cold weather, but new growth will begin in the spring. They are very fast growing and need frequent, deep watering during the growing season (spring - summer). Because the leaves are sensitive to cold weather, it might be that your plant is showing stress from winter weather, or from wind, which tends to dry the foliage out. Cut brown leaves off and keep the plant well watered and wait for new growth in the spring. The shoots are probably new stems produced by the roots of the plants. Cut away the old, dead portion of the plant and allow the new shoots to grow into a new tree.

bananas do not usually need freezing as the can last for uite a while on their own, but i think bunch formation would be easiest for storing multiple bananas.
