I can easily eat 6 bananas a day some days. Especially during training weeks. So easy to grab one when you get home. You can make ice cream, or even use them in dinner.

But.....

The banana is in real danger!!!

Yes it is. There is only one species, the Cavendish and more and more plantations have diseases. Basically every banana we eat is an exact copy of the same banana.

While there are a lot of apple species.

In The Netherlands at the Wageningen University they try to make a new banana but there is a long way to go.

Is a life without bananas worth living?
