Even though it's amazing what the world of science can do... we really didn't need our banana peels to be edible.
While the only explanation we can think of for these edible peels is less waste... it just seems like we're not bothered to pull the skin off our bananas... but anyway, I'll stop moaning.

The change in temperature reportedly causes the plants to grow quickly, leaving the fruit with a peel that has a "lettuce"-like texture.
The creators have named the new banana 'Mongee' and they currently cost €5 EACH.
