On Bananas

 


 Here is an interesting link with more information.  Apparently it is distantly related to ginger.  Also bananas are relatively low potassium compared to beans, milk, carrots, apricots, bell peppers and sweet potatoes.

Thank you. Sweet memories of 1995 when we visited Munroe´s banana plantation in Carnarvon, Western Australia. Boy, is that long ago!

I didn't know that about bananas. Hard to consider them as berries growing on an herb. Haha.

Yeah, it is a herb. In dementia screening test, I had to leave banana out of fruit vocabulary list.

There was no place to leave a comment on the orchid, Your daughter either has a green thumb or the orchid loves where it's living.

I didn't know that. But I know most wild bananas have lots of hard seeds and really aren't edible. :) hugs-Erika
