Musa × paradisiaca L. var. paradisiaca

Musa × paradisiaca L. var. paradisiaca, i.e. the plantain or the banana is a herbaceous flowering plant often considered both a vegetable as well as a fruit and many languages do not differentiate between the two. Besides the fruit, banana flower buds are also edible and have similar labelling issues. A loose distinction made between the banana and the plantain is that the plantain is a banana which is cooked.

In Malayalam, Saba (Musa × paradisiaca L. var. paradisiaca) is known by Bala, Ettakkaaya, Ettavaala, Kaadalam, Kaashthhila, Karinkadali, Kunnan, Pichha, Vala, or Vannan.
