What do you mean zero cleanup? Now I have to carry around a banana peel all day. All hail apples (yes, I eat the core).
They tend to go extinct every so often and need a different variety to replace them.
Look up the history of the banana trade.
Banana smell is so powerful if you leave a banana in the fridge over night any unprotected food will taste like a banana
I like how the person is placing a banana to show scale/size.
Its almost as good as potato!
Bad thing: banana Republic. Other than that… 100% legit.
The monopoly that supplies most bananas to the “western” world has long been known to be a murderous corrupt corp? That’s the one major drawback to that chewy sweet banana fiber.
1 bad thing of the disease that decimates the crops
The trick is to get the green/light green bananas as they begin to ripen. Buying yellow to slightly darker yellow bananas will shorten their shelf life tremendously.
I’m not a fan of freezing them as they’ll still continue to ripen. Your best case scenario if you start seeing them browning out is to make some banana bread or mix it in cupcake/cake mix.
Or stick it up your butt.
yuck, banana bread and cupcake are both so full of added wheat and sugar that the product no longer counts as whole fruit.
You could just use spelt or even avena instead. Add some baking powder and raisins if you like them.
- 2 Bananas
- 60g flour
- 40g raisins (or any other berry, raspberrys are amazing)
- 1-2 teaspoons baking powder
Mix it, form small balls and bake it at 175° for around 15 minutes.
okay, that recipe is less than half bread, can substitute both the grain and the fruit of a meal
History of banana and why it’s cheap.
History of everything you can plant under a society that puts profit over people’s life
Jesus Christ you people need to read more history.
you mean more propaganda.
Exactly what the fuck do you think you’re referencing?
A couple of badly placed cyclones can wreck banana fields and make bananas expensive for a few years.
It’s just a standard fruit. Nothing to see here.
I have some bad news about bananas. The current strain we use as food is going extinct as the banana trees are ill and dying out. Luckily we’re already changing a different strain to be ready for consumption (making them bigger and without seeds because yes, wild bananas are full of seeds).
Also cocoa plants are ill and dying and we don’t have a different strain. So some time in the future we will be without chocolate.
or using different species, like blue or red ones instead. wild ones have huge seeds.
It’s also not the first time it’s happened to bananas. You know how banana candy tastes so different to the real thing. That’s how the previous commercial strain used to taste before it was nearly exticted by disease.
The replacement for the Cavendish is already being sold commercially in Australia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldfinger_banana
Bananas have seeds? 😳
I have a sudden inspiration for a new gmo food.
People are working on that already. Did not work until now as far as I know.
This is a problem that has been known for a while.
Don’t they cost, like, 10 dollars a piece?
Sounds like you need to go see a star war
There’s always bananas in the money stand.
I mean, they should, but because of what amounts to basically slave labor, they don’t cost near that much in the US. That’s the big evil of bananas these days. I love them, but I don’t buy them.
these days
No, this is always been the case with bananas. There’s a reason why we have the term banana republic. Literally every banana ever bought by an American has been drenched in blood.
There are more involved videos on the subject but this is the shortest and most concise that I could find.
At least it’s tasty blood?
Idk, I’m trying to find the silver lining here.
The sort of silver lining here is that America is finally getting a taste of our own medicine.
That is to say, Russia interfering with our elections in order to install a president more friendly to their interests. And then that President going hog wild fascist and veritably wrecking our constitutional government in order to service his own desires for power.
I pay 1€ for a french banana in mainland France
they grow bananas in France? that’s bananas!
Yup, french
coloniesislands
Nearly no one got your reference :D
Thats insane 😂
Not when you haven’t got a complete moron at the helm slapping tariffs on everything he can think of. Here’s an example from a first world country (78p if you cba to click): https://groceries.morrisons.com/products/fyffes-bananas/115455355
I think the comment you’re replying to was a reference to The Office, a la “It’s one banana, what could it cost, $10?”
This is Arrested Development erasure.
How dare.
Also you harvest them every two weeks. Want to sell them already? Just stick them under a plastic carp for a couple of days and they’ll be ripe and yellow.
The bad part is loading trucks of bananas is hard work, those things are heavy.
Easy. The taste and the texture. Awful.
