Meet the Rhino Horn Plantain, a hybrid banana cultivar originating in Africa that bears fruit up to 2 feet (60cm) long â though average specimens range from 12 to 14 inches (about 32cm).
Could this be the world's biggest banana? At around 14 inches, it's gotta be a contender. I found these beauties hanging from the cart of a vendor in Chanthaburi, Thailand. The Thais call them Kluay, like Glueayyy. A few people I've talked to think they're called rhino bananas or rhino horn plantains in English.
