About this episode
In the late 19th century, bananas, a fruit that had been popular for thousands of years suddenly became a mass-market sensation. However, just a few decades after it was popularized, the industry had to completely change what was grown due to a pestilence. As a result, the bananas that most people eat today are very different than the bananas that everyone ate before the second world war. Learn more about bananas, and why your grandparents didn’t eat the same kind, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
