Bananas
(Bananas) Bananas are a tropical fruit that grows on a plant that reaches a height of 10 to 25 feet. The bananas are supported on a large heavy stem and grow with the individual stems facing downward. Bananas are always picked green and ripen on the way to market. When ripe, bananas lose their green color and begin to get small brown spots on their yellow skin. The last remaining green color can be seen at the tips of the bananas in the photo. See nutritional information chart below.
Bananas are also an extremely versatile fruit that we use in a wide variety of recipes. See:

The above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
