If you were to open up the fruit of a species banana (a wild type that is completely fertile) you'd find that the whole fruit would be full of hard seeds...maybe the size of a small un-popped kernel of popcorn. You'd pull back the peal and find that it was just full of those seeds with just a think coating of banana fruit surrounding each seed (90% seed and maybe 10% fruit). The only way to eat those wild bananas is to break off a chunk, stick it in your mouth and suck the meager fruit off of the seeds and then spit the seeds out. The beauty of the commercial varieties is that they are sterile and just full of creamy fruit without the seeds.
