NATURE & GASTRONOMY

 

 

 

  banana plant

 

Thailand

Banana plants in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai province. These non-woody fruitbearing plants have a soft herbaceous stem, that is made up of leaves that wrap round each other, forming what appears to be a trunk.

 

This often leads to these plants mistakenly being referred to as trees. Uniquely, Thailand has a variety that can produce more than a thousand fruits from just one flower called gluay roy wie (fig.).
