Pulp

The star of the show! Soft, creamy, and sweet, it's the reason we love bananas. This is where the party's at!

Peel

The banana's protective jacket. It starts off green but turns yellow as the banana gets ripe, and it's the superhero of the bunch—always ready to save the day!

Neck

The banana's elegant top. It's a bit firmer and might feel like the banana's dressed up for a fancy occasion.
