Question

What are 12 bananas called?

Answer 1

12 bananas are called a hand of bananas.

A hand of bananas consists of 5 to 7 or more bananas and large clusters of bananas and even those up to 20 bananas together are still called a hand of bananas or sometimes a bunch of bananas.

A single banana is called a finger and the entire, large hanging cluster that holds multiple hands of bananas is called a bunch or stalk.

There are 12 bananas in a dozen of bananas as the word dozen means a quantity of 12.

Most bananas are bought by the United States.

The United States is the buyer of most bananas and is the world's largest importer of bananas as the United States buys around 20 percent of the global supply of bananas, which is over $3 billion dollars worth of bananas.

Other major buyers of bananas are the Netherlands, Japan, China and Germany.

The country that has the best bananas is Indonesia.

The best banana in Indonesia is the Pisang Raja banana, which is known for it's rich, honey like taste as well as creamy texture.

Other best bananas are the sweet Pisang Mas or lady finger banana and the Canary Islands (Spain) for their sweet Platano de Canaris banana.

The reason why the US can't produce bananas on a large scale is because of the climate in America is not really suitable for growing bananas

And even the warmest United States, States have cooler winter seasons which slow or stop the plant growth of bananas.

So the United States can and does produce some bananas, but not on a scale that is large enough to meet the national demand of bananas.

Americans eat around 26 pounds of bananas per person per year.

And over 99 percent of the supply of bananas are also imported from tropical
