The Plantain is native to Asia: It arrived to the Mediterranean coasts in the year 650 and to the Canary Islands in the 15th century. From the Canary Islands it reached America in 1516, where it was renamed banana and became one of the staple foods of tropical and Caribbean countries. With the variety of plantains (they are cooked, less sweet and larger) they accompany almost all their dishes (like rice for Asians). In Europe, on the other hand, we eat bananas raw (dwarf banana), as a dessert. From the Canary Islands it starts to be marketed from the end of the 19th century.
The Plantain belongs to the family of the Musaceae, which includes the family of the Musa Paradisiaca or male Plantain and the Dwarf Plantain or Banana(Musa x paradisiaca). It needs a warm and humid climate to grow perfectly.
The main banana producing countries are the tropical and Caribbean countries of South America and, to a much lesser extent, Southeast Asia
