Gone Bananas

I stocked up on bananas this week.  Since reading the book 'Banana' I have been passionate about enjoying my bananas.  I know that shipping a fruit so far is bad for our environment but I also see the value in supporting the people growing the crops and the plants themselves.  So for your enjoyment here are a bunch of organic bananas and a bunch of baby bananas.  The organic bananas are only a few cents more then the regular.  There is no difference in the amount of pesticides in the fruit you buy but where it does make a difference is to the environment and the workers who apply the massive amounts of the chemicals to the plants.  The baby bananas are the perfect size for a kids lunch bag or snack.  They taste much more like the bananas our parents ate (yes bananas have changed!).  They are more dense with a stronger flavour but are creamier then the regular bananas.  My favorite part is that the peels can look extremely bruised but the fruit inside rarely is, unlike the regular bananas that it the peel is bruised the fruit inside is almost inedible.  Try some!!!
