Sure! Here’s a curated fact about the theory that bananas are actually berries:
Curiosity: Why have some people argued that bananas are actually berries for years?
Though weird bananas from exotic places like Zanzibar and Hawaii have been used since ancient times, it was not until the early 20th century that we studied bananas intensively. Since then, scientists have learned quite a lot. The modern story of how bananas fit in the botany of plants began in 1902. William Purdom, an English entomologist, discovered a tiny brown fly larvae who could only feed on non-pigmented banana fruits that wasn’t adapted to tropical conditions. In 1920, Francis Hallé carried out a detailed study of the Banana weevils and its identification was ultimately solved.
Through the years, research has focused on changing the banana fruit by selective breeding and cross-pollination using other plant species (pvama, palmyra palm, cotton plant) to develop new banana varieties to increase yield and resist disease. However, there is a commonly held belief that bananas are actually berries, after all they do ripen on their own and start softening when they’re too
