It is hard to believe, but there is now a banana with that has an edible peel. Most people would never think of eating the peel of a banana. However, banana farmers in Japan created a technique of growing bananas with a peel we can eat. Farmers keep their banana trees at a low temperature of -60 Centigrade. Then they replant the trees in 27 Centigrade. The big change in temperature makes the tree suddenly grow. This makes the banana peel thin and soft enough to eat.
The new banana is called the "Mongee". They are not cheap. One banana costs 648 yen (about six dollars). The farmers have not grown a lot of Mongee bananas, so the price is high. Japan gets 99% of its bananas from other countries. The Mongee means Japanese people will eat more home-grown bananas. The Mongee banana peel is very sweet and contains many kinds of nutrients.
