Well, when's the last time you peeled a banana and where confronted with a mass of unpalatable seeds?
We eat a specific mutated banana from a plant that can only be cloned to get more banana plants.
This isn't out of the ordinary from things we eat. Take the navel orange, or seedless almost anything; lots of different types of apples aren't grown from seed anymore - a cutting is made from a tree, and attached to a different species of apple tree.
