The power of plants
With its slender shape and large, hanging leaves, the banana resembles a tree, yet it is actually a giant grass whose only perennial part is an underground stem, or rhizome. Native to Southeast Asia, the banana is now found in tropical regions throughout the world and there are several varieties of banana grown for their fruit, which is eaten green or ripe. In traditional medicine, green banana is used externally for its healing properties.
