Sorry if this is a weird question, but I was just thinking about bananas and how most of the store bananas you buy in places like the US are relatively flavorless but are still sold because they don’t go bad as easily during shipping. So, given this, you’d think you might be able to find the more flavorful varieties of bananas in a preserved form. Like a sealed can… but nope, this doesn’t exist. You can buy pineapples, peaches, oranges, and lots of other fruit in cans, but not bananas.

Why is that? Why are canned bananas not a thing?

    Bananas suck ass when preserved through freezing/canning.

    They don't retain their structure like pineapples so you'd be left with brown sludge that is admittedly sweet. Plus, why would you prefer high fructose corn syrup on your bananas rather than just fresh fruit?
