It's pretty cool and a fun trivia question. You can read more about it <a href="http:\/\/homecooking.about.com\/od\/fruit\/a\/bananafacts.htm" target="_blank">here.</a> Hi Shelly and Carol,

Another option is the red strawberry glaze and season with 5-spice powder to taste. Or go to an Asian grocery and ask around.

Take out of the oven once it is preheated and allow to cool. They will be black on the outside and on the inside will be soft and look just like the overripe consistency you are looking for.

The banana we peel and eat is the fruit of the banana-tree, which is not really a tree but rather a perennial herb. You can find more banana facts <a href="http://homecooking.about.com/od/fruit/a/bananafacts.htm" rel="nofollow">here.</a> Hi Barbara,
