A professor of design once explained to me that bananas are the most sophisticatedly designed fruit, for the following 3 reasons:
1) knob at the top and directional fibers for maximum peeling ease
2) skin acts as a glove so hands never need to touch the fruit
3) no seeds
It’s a design that screams “eat me!!”
Have a nice weekend.

But, it’s more proper to open it from the bottom. Also, the seeds are all bunched together at the bottom.

This reminds me of the Bruno Munari book describing good design as an orange. I’m hungry now, too!
