Introduction

Bananas are thought to be one of the oldest cultivated fruits.  Spanish explorers brought them to New
World areas like the Caribbean & Latin America.  today, bananas are one of America's three favorite fruits.
Bananas are high in nutrients like potassium and vitamin B6.  Bananas are even a source of vitamin C.
Their starchy flesh turns to sugar as they ripen, giving them a sweet flavor and smooth texture.
