Dear Father, I thank You For Given Us Banana!
The banana is not a tree but a high herb that can attain up to 15 meters in height. It is a perennial plant that replaces its place. The banana does not grow from a seed but from a bulb or a rhizome. The time between planting a banana plant and the harvest of the banana bunch goes from 9-12 months. Bananas are available all year long. Bananas are grown in tropic regions where the average temperature is 80-degrees Celsius [27 degree Celsius] and the yearly rainfall is 78-98 inches [200-250 centimetres].
They require moist soil with good drainage. In fact, most bananas exported are grown 30 degrees either side of the equator. Botanically the fruit belongs to the family of Musaceae. Bananas come with nature gifted outer layer of skin, therefore are less likely contaminated by germs and dust. of the 1000 known banana varieties in the world, the types most commonly available for purchase include the most popular yellow Cavendish, the smaller apple banana, the baby banana, the red banana with pinkish flesh, and the plantain which must be cooked.
Banana is consumed just by removing the peel and enjoy it. It can also be put to use in various ways, just by fibre used in textile and paper, as fertilizer, animal feeds, medicine and as skin care. the banana leaves can be used for wrapping food during cooking. It is rich in potassium and vitamin B6, and C, bananas also contain essential amino acids, high amount of carbohydrate and fibre, but low protein and fat.
Keep the fruit at room temperature, hanged on a rack and placed on a counter or put them in the sun for faster ripening. Don’t refrigerate them because that will turn them black and they won’t ripen. If you want to keep longer peel the skin of a ripe banana and freeze.
