Green Banana [pachai pazham]

Dear All,

Just trying to find out what happened to our good old Green bananas that were available and aplenty, am not referring to raw banana, am referring to ripe bananas that are green and tasted good. What I see and get nowadays in this part of Tamilnadu is stout long bananas which are rather yellowish in color and does not taste good at all. The vendors are not able to give a proper answer and they say the green ones are not produced nowadays. The vendors say these are named “reliance”.

Can anyone throw some light on what is happening on this front.

Thanks.
