Bananas for Healthy Snacks, Even Dinner, in the 50's
Bananas are kind of liked prepackaged treats, only the outer wrapper is biodegradable, they have zero fat and are packed with fiber and nutrients. They taste good AND they're very inexpensive!
Cute way to get kids to understand when to best eat bananas. as a child, i didnt like eating bananas with brown flecks out of some natural revulsion to food with dark spots. little did i know it was the best time for eating.
This reminds me of a time a co-worker of mine came in with a hand of flecked bananas, giggling like a man who had just committed the perfect crime. He proceeded to hand each of us a banana to eat, and explained that he had been in the grocery store and had seen the very ripe bananas reduced for quick sale while the still ripening hands were slightly more expensive. He said it's about the only time you pay less for better tasting fruit... and for what it's worth, my banana WAS pretty tasty. :)
