Bananas are curved because they grow towards the sun.

Philosophers have pondered the shape of bananas for a long time, arguing until the sun goes down as to why they’re curved.

Bananas go through a process called “negative geo-tropism.” This process causes the fruit to grow upwards toward the sun instead of the ground. This, in turn, gives the banana its familiar curved shape.
