Banana
Banana-It is ironic that the world’s most popular fruit is descended from an herbaceous plant whose fruit is inedible. At least forty species of the  Musa genus grow wild in Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands, and all of them have seedy fruits of little or no practical value. Thousands of years ago one species, Musa acuminata, underwent some genetic mutations and began producing seedless fruits without the benefit of pollination. This was later hybridized (maybe naturally, maybe by early agronomists) with an inedible wild banana (M. balbisiana) and the modern banana was born. Scientists believe that bananas may have been cultivated as long as 15,000 years ago, making them a candidate for the first crop domesticated by humans.
