Bananas are not complicated fruits, or so we think. Unlike apples, which come in loads of different colors and varieties from "red delicious" to "granny smith," we don't often see bananas the same way: They're just bananas. However, there are over 1,000 different kinds of bananas and they've changed a lot, evolving (though selective breeding) from round, green fruits filled with seeds to the bright yellow, phone-shaped fruits we know today. That was far in the past though; there's no way bananas have changed that much recently, have they?

Growing up on a farm, I was lucky to have access to just-picked fruits and veggies at the peak of ripeness. And though I loved munching on sweet and tender carrots in the early summer and extra juicy Sun Gold cherry tomatoes in July, nothing ever topped a chilled slice of watermelon (sometimes followed by a seed-spitting contest) on a hot, humid late summer day.
