These giant bananas are of special type called thousand fingers, also known as Musa chiliocarpa. We can find such giant varieties of Bananas in south east parts of Asia. The specialty of such type of bananas is that the fingers on one banana plant grow fused one over the other bunch, producing huge bunch of bananas, and is therefore called thousand fingers. Each of these giant bananas is however only an inch long, tastes sweet, and smells pleasant. They taste like strawberries when cooked.
