Cavendish banana

The Cavendish banana is the most common variety of banana consumed worldwide. It is a seedless, yellow fruit with a smooth skin, known for its sweet taste and creamy texture. Grown primarily in tropical regions, it is favored for its reliability in shipping and storage. As a cultivar of the species Musa acuminata, the Cavendish replaced earlier varieties due to its disease resistance and high yield. While popular, it is genetically uniform, making it vulnerable to pests and diseases, which has led to ongoing efforts to develop more resilient banana varieties.
