Hello hive friends, I am very happy to share this great topic with all the friends of the hive, perhaps we see plants as something normal, but not everything in life has its essence and its usefulness, I want to talk to you about banana plants, bananas and topochos, there is a great variety of these fruits that nature gives us. Its scientific name which I did not know but how beautiful it is Musa Paradisiaca, in my town it is known by the name of the fruit it bears.
I planted bananas, bananas and topocho in my home, so that it would bear fruit, but if we start to observe this plant we will discover much more about it, that is why I go back to the time of my grandmother when she took the banana leaf to make the cachapa, wrap the hallaca in December, my grandfather took a dry strip from the trunk of the plant and tied his pants or tied something since it is resistant and very useful. and those are traditions that are still being done in my country
As for its fruits, I can tell you that the `banana is very useful, from there we can make the tostón while they are green, fried plantains, baked as they are, they are delicious and in Zulia they prepare patacones, a typical meal of that region, the topocho which is the ideal banana for fish soup when it is green, it is also used grated to make arepas, I tell you that I had to make topocho arepas at a time when corn flour was scarce in my country and it is used ripe for frying . The meals or these fruits satisfy the body since they are an important nutritional source of potation for our body, they make us strong and active.
The yellow shell banana is one of the most commercial, it is the one we see in supermarkets and the manzano banana is ideal for children.
The acorn or cucula is used to make meals, they do it as a substitute for minced meat for people with a basically vegetarian diet that take advantage of that part of the plant.
It is there where we see the greatness of this plant, how beautiful nature created for us.
When sowing the plant we have to keep in mind to make a deep pit and add lime or ash to prevent the plant from getting plague, they reproduce by children and keep in mind that it must be watered since it requires good watering. The plants require cleaning since you have to remove the yellow leaves.
When I started growing this plant in my home, I did it because I like to see the beautiful bunches of bananas as they end up being a delicious garnish.
The greatness of human beings is in improving and building a better planet, planting it for the future and to achieve a sustainable economy through planting, so that new generations feel love and enthusiasm for agriculture and tree planting, not only limited to an area but we can also plant at home, plants give life to the home and in particular I feel great emotion every time I harvest a fruit or a flower.
