Banana

A banana was a fruit that was grown on trees around Faerûn and Zakhara.

Description
The inner flesh of these yellow fruits was eaten, whilst the peel was usually regarded as waste.

Cultivation
The halflings of Luiren were known cultivators of bananas, and grew bananas between Beluir and Chethel. They usually consumed them, but sometimes exported them to places such as Halruaa and Durpar, who were keen on green bananas. A few places in Chult, particularly the Agricultrual Quarter of Mezro, contained banana plantations.

Uses
Bananas were consumed many races such as humans and halflings, as well as other races and creatures around Toril, such as banana monkeys. The ashira, tree spirits of Zakhara, lived in banana trees (as well as trees bearing other fruits) and survived off of the bananas they produced.

The peel of these fruits were one of the material components required to cast Caddelyn's catastrophe.
