That's why bananas are curved

Reason is nothing less poetic.


Bananas: An excellent source of potassium, an excellent source of vitamins and, as everyone knows - the most recognizable fruits on the planet. After all, you do not meet a lot of fruits that look like casual moons. (Or ... uh ... something else.) Moreover, each banana is not the same. Some are more curved, some are less.

What is the problem?

Well,According to DOLE experts, which are known for their fruits - and, in particular, their bananas - the reason is nothing less poetic.

Bananas go through a scientifically called "negative geotropism". What it means, in terms of laity, is that, as growing bananas, they become too heavy for the plant and begin to sink into the ground. So, the banana curve is due to the damaged pursuit of the fruit of the sun's rays. Yes, the banana is being covered against its own weight, just as if you would do it in a pilates class, in an effort to get more sun.

The reasoning for this has to do with where the bananas are from: the rainforest, where there is notoriously little sun. So, the banana adapted, evolves and survived.

By Dole ", if the fruit had to grow towards the small amount of light that penetrates laterally through the vegetation, the plant could too balancing and tilt. So bananas have developed a way to grow towards the light without destabilizing the plant."
