How Do Bananas Grow and End Up in the Store?

How do bananas go from a farm to your table? Inside Edition traveled to Ecuador, the world's largest exporter of bananas, to learn about how the fruit is grown. It takes nine months for bananas to grow to their full size. During that time, they are covered in plastic bags to protect them from any nasty critters. The Inside Edition bananas spent two weeks at sea before they arrived at a snowy port in Red Hook, Brooklyn. #InsideEdition

They taped the reactions of people eating normal bananas like there is a twist on them

[@cazador3863]
