ASIA:  BANANAS


 
Where are they originally from? The true origins of the world's  most popular fruit are to be found in Malaysia dating back to 6th century B.C. Over many centuries, the banana herb (it is not a tree), traveled from Malaysia to China in 200 A.D., to Africa in 650 A.D., and then brought to the Caribbean by the Portuguese explorers in the 1516. The bananas that we buy today in our supermarkets come from the Caribbean.
