Welcome to the forum.
.
Bananas with seeds are considered to be ornamental. Some can be eaten, but usually not worth the trouble of separating the seeds from the banana pulp.

Eatable bananas commercially grown are sterile and in rare cases is a seed produced. These plants are propagated from pups (sucker or offspring plants).

So what types of bananas do you want? ... From other OZ members, I understand there is a lot of paper work involved to import live banana plants.

When eating fruit from these, do you swallow or spit out the seeds?

well Aruzinsky it probably depends on the size of the seeds and also the individual person . I only have one type of seeded bananas and they are only small and a few months old and not given any bunches yet . :-)
