Does the banana fruit have any seeds?

Answer 1

Bananas are the seeds. A banana is one massive seed scooped out of a large tropical melon known as the giant spunkbubble.

Answer 2

Commerical bananas do not have functional seeds The "trees" are actually grown like strawberries, where a whole grove is actually one plant. Are there bananas with seeds? Yes, but they are not the ones on the market. There's a genetic background to all this, but I'm not going to dive into that mess.

Answer 3

Yes, it's those little black things in the middle but they aren't hard like grape or apple seeds, but they do exist.

In some GM fruit there are none of these seeds, and in immature banana's as well.

Answer 4

Every fruit has seeds in some form. Although i believe banana trees are sterile. The seeds are tiny and black though.

Answer 5

yeah they really have a lot in true bananas. The ones you eat are genetically altered so it does not produce large seeds. real bannas are usually smaller and are pact with seeds. You can learn more if you study about the UNITED FRUIT COMPANY. this should tell you more.

Answer 6

Yes they do. All those tiny black dots are ABORTED SEEDS. Since bananas are one of the most man managed crops in the world, seedless varieties of all banana species are the ones comercially available on the market.
As Rajeev said in wild individuals there are seeds aprox 3-4 mm in diameter and they are very hard so if you bite as hard as in comon ones, you'll crack a tooth. rickthewonder is wrong, if his definition was correct, then seedless grapes and lemons would be...........?

Answer 7

No. Largely because it's not a fruit.

Fruit is a term assigned to the fleshy seed pods of plants. Since Bannanas don't have seeds they are, by definition not fruit (tomatoes, however, are). Instead Bannanas are classified as herbs which are plants without persistant woody tissue.

Answer 8

I don't know why the other did not catch this but yes! The little, very tiny black "dots" in the very middle of the fruit are the seeds! They are so small that we do not even realize we are eating them.

Answer 9

IN normal situations they have seeds which are sterile but in some experimental conditions you can produce viable seeds. There are some wild varieties of banana in southern parts of India, which produce seeds normally

Answer 10

yes they have seeds. some species of banana comtains numerous but tiny seeds and in some species the seeds are quite few but also quite big like a grape seed.
