      The Gros Michel is where artificial banana flavoring comes from. You can actually still get them, but they are around $90 per pound of bananas. There’s a greenhouse in Florida that can still grow them. I ordered a bunch of them a few years ago, and can confirm they taste like artificial banana, though not as sweet as most things that are banana flavored.
