A Banana (family Musaceae genus Musa spp) is long
curved fruit with a yellow skin. The soft inner fruit may be mashed or
pureed before eating. Eating bananas can help repair, 'rebuild', restore
and heal skin affected by eczema and dermatitis. Bananas grow in sub-tropical
and tropical climates. In Australia most of the finest wholefood bananas
are grown in far north Queensland during December and January. The three
species of extensively cultivated banana are Musa sapienta, Musa paradisiaca
and Musa nana. There are hundreds of banana varieties.[4]
Some of the more common include: apple/dwarf bananas, green bananas,
red bananas and plantains. [4]
Attention:
bananas can cause constipation in babies [6]
