WHAT DOES BANANA MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Banana

Banana, pacoba or pacova is a pseudobaga of the banana tree, a herbaceous plant vivacious acaule of the family Musaceae. They are grown in 130 countries. Originating in Southeast Asia, they are now grown in practically every tropical region of the planet. Ordinarily, even for commercial purposes, the term "banana" refers to sweet and soft pulp fruits that can be eaten raw. However, there are varieties of cultivation, stiffer pulp and firmer bark and green bark, generally referred to as plantains, in Spanish, bread bananas or banana, or plantains, in English, which are consumed cooked, constituting the staple food of many populations of tropical regions. Most of the bananas for export are of the first type, although only 10 to 15 percent of world production is for export, with the United States and the European Union being the main importing powers. The bananas form in bunches on the top of the "pseudocaules" that are born from a true underground stem whose longevity reaches 15 years or more.
