Monkey Business

Monkeys know to peel a banana from the bottom so that it won't have those annoying strings. Evidently, they do not like those either!

Bananas connected at the stem ripen faster! Pull them apart when you get them home from shopping. To ripen even faster, close bananas in a paper sack...the gases they release will speed up the process.

The inside of the banana peel is soothing on skin rashes. Jungle natives have known this for years!

Peel a banana, wrap it in foil & freeze. Eat it frozen as a substitute for ice cream....not too bad!
