Bananas King of the Plants.
I have heard of them being referred to as king of the plants. Have you all heard of this too? What do you all think?

Re: Bananas King of the Plants.
I honestly think Sequoia sempervirens is the king of all plants. I'm lucky enough to have a few growing in my backyard. My are they getting big!

Re: Bananas King of the Plants.
Yes I have heard of them being the king of plants. It is because every part of the plant can be used for something. i.e. pseudostem for fabrics, fruit and flower for eating, leaves for cooking, etc.

Re: Bananas King of the Plants.
That's true. Depends on who you talk with. I have also heard that coconuts are the king of fruits.

Re: Bananas King of the Plants.
One thing I can't stand is artificial banana flavored stuff. But yeah I like bananas because they be eaten raw and come with their own packaging (the peel).

Re: Bananas King of the Plants.
Corn is king. Too bad it's almost all GMO.
Hemp should be King. Rice should be Queen. Banana is Prince. |

Re: Bananas King of the Plants.

Re: Bananas King of the Plants.
Hemp can't be king if it's illegal to have in most states.

Re: Bananas King of the Plants.
Yeah, unfortunately. Although industrial hemp contains almost no psychoactive compounds. It can be used to make paper, clothing, fiber, oil, resins, building materials, biofuel, and even biodegradable plastics. It doesn't require pesticides, it improves the soil, and the crop is ready in just 120 days. I could see it becoming our country's most important and useful crop if we were to make full use of it. There is no reason why it should be illegal to grow.

Re: Bananas King of the Plants.
Banana smoothies are excellent. I like to throw some Black Mission figs in with a banana, coconut water, and some vanilla yogurt to make a great tasting smoothie.
