[{"role": "system", "content": "The banana is an edible fruit \u2013 botanically a berry \u2013 produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus \"Musa\". In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains, in contrast to dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color, and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind, which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow in clusters hanging from the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible parthenocarpic (seedless) bananas come from two wild species\u00a0\u2013 \"Musa acuminata\" and \"Musa balbisiana\". The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are \"Musa acuminata\", \"Musa balbisiana\", and \"Musa\" \u00d7 \"paradisiaca\" for the hybrid \"Musa acuminata\" \u00d7 \"M.\u00a0balbisiana\", depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name \"Musa sapientum\" is no longer used. \"Musa\" species are native to tropical Indomalaya and Australia, and are likely to have been first domesticated in Papua New Guinea. They are grown in 135 countries, primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent to make fiber, banana wine, and banana beer and as ornamental plants. The world's largest producers of bananas in 2016 were India and China, which together accounted for 28% of total production.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Banana, produced by the herbaceous flowering plants of the \"Musa\" genus.. delicious and cheap!
