Bananas, like many other exotic fruits grow in a tropical climate, but in Japan it cool, which does not allow the agricultural industry to put their products on the shelves. Therefore, the leading farm Corporation D&T Farm is engaged in their cultivation, based on the cold resistance of plants.
Due to the special technical equipment, the specialists were able to recreate the conditions existing at the end of the ice age. Then, the plants were rebuilt after the harsh winter temperatures began to rise at a daytime temperature of 12-13°C.

This concept was used in the "freeze-thaw" farm D&T Farm. They froze the banana seedlings to -60°C, and then thawed and planted them. This method encourages plants to grow rapidly even in cool climates. If the regular banana fully Matures in 2 years, the new grade Mongee was grown in just 4 months.

Banana Mongee was even sweeter than its tropical relative. If the usual banana on average of 18.3 g of sugar, the new variety it of 24.8 g. moreover, it is a organically grown fruit that does not contain GMOs. And most importantly – his skin is completely edible.
On the website of the company also mentioned that banana peel is a great ingredient that contains vitamin B6, magnesium, and other nutrients to the human body. In addition, according to them, it has a positive effect on the human brain and sleep.

But it should be a fruit is quite expensive – about $ 6 per month. for one banana. This is due to the fact that the counter gets only 10 fruit per week, besides they are sold only in one shop – the supermarket Tenmanya Okayama. As Japan imports 99% of bananas, a new variety is a luxury component of less than 1% of all goods.
