Bananas first originated in Southeast Asia, thousands of years ago wild bananas were very small, people tried to open the fruit, but found that there were many seeds in it, and there were very few parts that could be eaten.
As a result, it is rumored that as early as Papua New Guinea, humans began the road of domesticating bananas, trying to cultivate bananas without so many seeds, although bananas became delicious, but without seeds, it also basically lost fertility.
Bananas were cultivated in the Han Dynasty in China, and they were called "sweet plantains" at that time. It is said that when Emperor Wudi of Han set up the Fuli Palace, when he collected exotic flowers and trees in the world, there were bananas among them. In the third century AD, Alexander made an expedition to India to discover bananas, which only spread around the world. According to Egyptian archaeologists found in unearthed artifacts, Egyptian pottery as far back as 4,000 years ago was painted with banana patterns, and the history of banana cultivation in Africa was earlier than in China. It is said that the Greeks began eating bananas more than 4,000 years ago. Ancient Indian and Persian folklore believed that the golden banana fruit was "a good fruit of health given by God to mankind". Legend has it that Buddhism's patriarch Shakyamuni gained wisdom by eating bananas, which are therefore known as the "fruit of wisdom". Did you eat bananas today?
