      @LadieKadie1 in INDIA WE used banana Smem for over 27 lakhs years 2.7 million years
      There were very different species from human which can talk in whole world
      Densley Concentrated in kishkindha
      If you read hindu history you will found about hanuman, bali, yes same name from one place of Indonesia gets it name bali, sughreev
      So that speices which have tale
      Mostly eat bananas and cooked food too, they eat banana and used that tree for making clothes

      Fun fact: 95% American believe that angles exist
      So that's truth, fact not to be belive or to be proven
      Don't tell me jokes
      You being hindu don't even believe in ramayana 😂😂
      It's proven by great Americans scientist in Indonesia that species like hanuman and sughreev exists
      And for your correction dinosaur extinct 650 crore years ago

    Most locals here in the Philippines and the rest of south east asia. Use banana stem for textile, 🐷 pigfood, or BBq 🍖 stand... the leaves are used as kitchen uttensils and disposable packaging, the heart can be eaten including the peel and shoot ...the peel is used for polishing shoes... the rest became fertilizer........ sicnce my island is one of the top exporters of banana 🍌 in asia, i can buy almost 10kilos of banana with less than a 💵 dollar... aside from that their are plenty of banana variety to choose from my favorite is ‘sabah’, but i dont like mono culture cavendish banana many plantations here are in peril because of banana deseases....
