Eating the Gros Michel as his default banana has given Roatta an exceedingly rare insight into how it compares with the Cavendish, which remains the only yellow banana the vast majority of us can regularly eat. The Gros Michel would be declared commercially extinct in the Americas by 1965 at the hands of the Panama disease. During the 20th Century, he explains, food and drink firms gradually realised that volatile compounds in foods lost during the storage of baked goods or the concentration of fruit juices for example could be captured and re-introduced to the product where possible.
