Bananas
(English),
Plátanos (Spanish) Ja'as (Maya), Musa
paradisiaca, Musaceae Family.
Native to Southeast Asia, banana hybrids are now widely
cultivated in subtropical world regions. Banana
trees are evergreen herbaceous plants that only bear
fruits once from a pseudo-stem with a large flower at
its tip; from the flower grow multiple clusters of
fruits creating a large column fruit pendant; banana
leafs are used to wrap tamales and other
Mayan cooking delights.
