Something you can make with ripe bananas
Origin
Bananas are believed to have originated in Southeast Asia, specifically in the region that includes present-day Malaysia and Indonesia. They were first domesticated around 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. From there, bananas spread to other parts of the world through trade and exploration. Today, bananas are grown in many tropical and subtropical regions across the globe, including countries in Africa, South America, and the Caribbean.
