A woman says she feels ‘blessed’ after finding a girthy double banana sitting in her fruit bowl. Kate Wright, 49, from Kendal, Cumbria, fancied a snack on Saturday morning when she spotted the massive banana. Her husband, Harry, bought a bunch of bananas from Morrisons in the Kendal branch that week but had not noticed the unusual piece of fruit. After not much thought, Kate and Harry decided to share the banana with one another.

Kate said she had never seen anything like this before and was shocked when the massive snack was in her hands. Kate said: ‘I went to the fruit bowl on Saturday morning and picked out a banana for breakfast and, lo and behold, behind the main bananas was a double banana. ‘It was like a chunky banana in two sections all within one skin. It was a complete freak thing. ‘I’d never seen anything like this in 49 years. I didn’t really want two at once so waited until Sunday lunch for our pudding and me and my husband had the double banana.

‘I pulled it down and could see there were two separate bananas in the one skin with one stalk. ‘Me and my husband had one each for lunch and it didn’t taste weird. It tasted like a completely normal banana, there was nothing unusual about it. ‘Some people have said it’s lucky. People have said I should buy a lottery ticket but I’m not really a gambling person. ‘I feel quite blessed it fell into my hands. I think it’s a really interesting find. It’s not something you come across.’.

A ‘double banana’ is rare and happens when a single banana grows with two distinct ‘fingers’ attached. This creates a twin banana which is a natural anomaly and only happens in around 5% of banana bunches. This makes them quite uncommon to find and many never actually reach the supermarket shelves.
