Old time favorite bananas

Ellen says: Bananas are old time favorite fruit. I used to serve my family banana for a snack . Add to fruit bowls (they start to mush once cut so they aren't good candidates for a fruit salad), add to cereal. Mash and add to pancake batter or muffins instead of sugar. Once they get ripe and have brown spots (that's when they're extra sweet) or even if they get really brown, freeze them in pieces. Then add to smoothies when they instead of sugar. Or later defrost them to make banana ice cream.

Banana actually grow on giant herbs and are related to the orchid family. Low in fat and calories, easy to digest, high in vitamin B6, and a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. The perfect first food for babies, they can be easily mashed and later handheld and they come in their own convenient carrying case! They are also one of the few foods with serotonin that can help overcome depression. Bananas can help if you have diarrhea (so can plain white rice). Bananas are an important food to eat organic since they are sprayed, they are commonly eaten by children, they are a favorite first food of babies, we don't wash them before peeling, and many times we break off a piece once we peel them.
