1. Banana Anatomy
Bananas are made up of several layers, including:
Peel (Skin): The outer layer that protects the fruit. As bananas ripen, the peel turns from green to yellow, and the fruit inside softens.
Fruit Flesh: The sweet, soft, edible part of the banana. It contains sugars, water, and various nutrients.
Phloem Bundles (Strings): These are the small, fibrous threads that run vertically along the banana. They are part of the plant’s vascular system and are responsible for transporting nutrients and water.
2. Phloem Bundles (Banana Strings)
These tiny strings are the remnants of the plant’s vascular system. They are composed of cellulose, and while they are technically edible, they can be a bit tough and chewy. Some people like to pull them off while eating the banana, but they don’t affect the flavor of the fruit.
