Default Are There Any Seeded Bananas Used As Food?

Hi, first post!

I'm interested in growing or developing an edible variety of seeded banana. I own a few acres and grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables. One thing I like to do is select for traits I think are neat or that make a particular plant better suited to my local environment. With every banana being a clone of its parent it seems like what you see is what you get. I'd like to have a tasty banana that can be grown from seed, mixed and matched and subjected to the vagaries of genetic mutation.

It's my understanding that there are no poisonous forms of banana but I was wondering if there are any seeded kinds that are already often used as food? The exact taste isn't critical, sweet or starchy is fine. I'd just like to avoid anything really nasty or bitter tasting.
