You sure? I’d love it if it were like you say. I imagine a dedication to an authoritative strain. Like champagne or parmigiano reggiano. I heard bananas today are completely unlike bananas of the past. Sadly, I’m pretty sure Red D ain’t what it used to be. The next sentence: > But as genes for beauty were favored over those for taste, the skins grew tough and bitter around mushy, sugar-soaked flesh. Still, by the 1980s, the Red Delicious made up 75 percent of the crop produced in Washington.

> I heard bananas today are completely unlike bananas of the past. That is because bananas of today is a completely different cultivar of banana. Up until the 1950s the primary type of banana was the Gros Michel. This is also why artificial banana flavor doesn’t taste like bananas we have today. The artificial flavor was originally created when the Gros Michel was what people thought of when they thought of a banana.
