The lovely banana

Bananas are popular all over the world. What a wonderful fruit the banana is! It can be of three colours: green, yellow or brown. These colours tell us how ripe the banana is. One more fact is that a banana is neat to eat. When you bite into it, you don’t have to worry about juice all over yourself and your neighbours (like oranges or grapefruit, for example). And it’s a silent food – you can chew it as long as you like without driving your neighbours crazy with crunching sounds (like apples or carrots, for example). Finally, it’s easy to cut – you don’t need a knife. You can slice it with a fork or a spoon, if you like.

You’re never too young or too old to eat bananas. Babies eat mashed bananas before their teeth grow in. Great-great-grandparents eat mashed bananas after their teeth fall out.

The banana can be cooked in different ways. You can fry it, bake it, mash it, or eat it raw. You can slice it and put it on your breakfast cereal. At lunchtime you can have a raw banana as a snack, or make some peanut butter and a banana sandwich, or eat a bag of dried bananas. You can add a banana to your ice cream for dessert and call it a banana split. At weekends you can order a banana milkshake at your local restaurant.

Bananas give us lots of vitamins A and C. The price of bananas is low. So millions of people enjoy this fantastic fruit.
