Yeah, I read about the seeds.

When I bought them, the hang tag said "Edible zabrina rojo", and all of the pix I saw online look like mine. Solid burgundy color under the leaves, striated burgundy on top of the leaves, the bananas start out burgundy but ripen to green, and the one I ate had no seeds.

Sorry about the crummy phone pic.

The one on the left is of the second one I have in a pot showing the top of the leaves, the center shot shown the underside of the leaves, the third on the right has the banana bunch.
