Taste testing bananas

Prior to the 1950s the strain of banana you would have bought in a store was the Gros Michel. Disease greatly impacted the Gros Michels, and cultivation switched to the Cavendish, the strain of banana that is currently the most sold type. Cavendish crops are currently being affected by disease as well, and unless a solution is found we may need to move to a new strain of banana. A likely replacement is the Gold Finger banana.
