In an effort to have more kavanah when saying a bracha I began to learn about fruits and vegetables common in my diet. I stumbled across an amazing book called: Banana - The Fate of the Fruit that changed the world by Dan Koeppel. Practically his first order of business - chronologically - is addressing the idea that the banana considered (as he put it 'by biblical scholars') to be the forbidden fruit and not the apple.

His points range from the suggestive genital shape to the nutritional aspects the fruit provides. Considering other aspects of the book, I became open to the idea that - indeed- the banana could arguably be the forbidden fruit.

Are there any commentators that believe the same?
