Did you know Bananas are technically a berry?!

Today we are going to talk about Bananas.

Even though most berries we know of today are mainly tiny and round, not all of them are. True berries are simple fruits that stem from one flower and one ovary, usually with multiple seeds and that’s exactly what a banana is. Oh and get this, Strawberries are not classified as berries! In the botanical sense anyhow.

The average person in the UK eats 10 kg or 22 lbs of bananas a year which is about 100 bananas. In the US, Bananas are the most popular fruit right above apples. In 1970, 7 pounds of bananas were consumed per person. This raised to 10.4 pounds in 2010. However, other sources say the average american eats roughly 25 pounds but in all honestly I just don’t see it. “Fat people” I personally eat about 730 bananas a year, which really isn’t that much. Some fruitarians eat about 3000 or more a year.

Bananas were first domesticated in Southeast Asia and Papua New Guinea. Archaeological and Palaeo-environmental evidence at Kuk Swamp in the Western Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea proposes that the cultivation of bananas dates back as far as 7,000 years ago and possibly as far back as 10,000 years ago. There are also text references to bananas in Islamic poems and hadiths near the beginning of the 9th century. In the 10th century there are texts about bananas in Palestine and Egypt. It then goes into North Africa and Muslim Iberia. If this is true, then the likelihood of humans using fruit as a staple food for thousands of years is even more promising.

Those soft, sweet and nearly seedless bananas you are eating today are mainly from the cavendish group. Named after William Cavendish. The cavendish plant was grown in the Derbyshire estate’s hothouse in 1830 over 180 years ago. Allegedly this happened because the head gardener Joseph Paxton was apparently inspired after seeing a banana plant on a chinese wallpaper in one of the 175 rooms in the home. He then got access to an imported banana species. I actually got into hydroponics after I saw someone grow a dwarf banana tree hydroponically. I thought it was so cool!! That was also the week I learned Miracle Gro does not work as hydroponic nutrients. Lol

There is a threat to this food that us health enthusiasts love so much and its called the Panama disease.

In the 1950’s the Gros Michel Banana was nearly destroyed worldwide by the Panama disease. Panama disease is a fungus that is resistant to conventional agricultural fungicide. Cavendish is Asexual which means all of the plants are cloned descendants from one plant. That is why you don’t spend your time spitting out seeds when eating one. The seeds are nearly microscopic now in most types of commercial bananas. Since they are clones, they cannot develop a resistance to the disease. Once the disease figures out how to kill one plant, it can then kill all of them.

If you’re going to eat one fruit you may want to pick bananas as they seem to be close to a perfect food.

Bananas are relatively nutrient and calorie dense so I consider them a class 1 superfood in my book. This is the reason why the food is commonly used as a staple food for health enthusiasts such as freelee the banana girl who has eaten over 50 bananas in a day! Freelee if you eat 30 a day that’s around 10,000 a year!

When bananas are unripe and green they are actually starchy compared to ripe bananas that contain simple sugars. This means green bananas contain polysaccharides which are complex carbohydrates composed of long chain sugars. They take longer to absorb and be utilized by the body. This can be useful information for diabetics that have trouble with simple sugars that still want to receive the tremendous list of health benefits from fruit. The downside to this is that unripe bananas are harder to digest and contain less antioxidants compared to spotted ripened ones. That starch can also act as a prebiotic to feed beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract. Being a prebiotic alongside fiber greatly aids in digestion.

A randomised controlled trial was done to learn the effects of banana consumption of faecal microbiota.The study revealed that the banana group had significantly lower gastrointestinal symptoms compared to controls. The consumption of bananas had no adverse effects on evacuation patterns. They concluded bananas are a well tolerated eating behaviour that may induce bifidogenesis in women experiencing weight problems. This will obviously be useful for men as well.

According to research: the mean postprandial blood glucose response area to white bread was significantly higher compared to under ripe and overripe bananas.

When I’ve had a hard work-out and am feeling pain in joints and muscles, I take a couple of capsules of turmeric or make some ‘Golden Milk’ and take a few tablets of Calcium with Magnesium. Invariably, I wake up the next morning pain-free. I love being able to give this to my patients because it’s highly effective and cheap.

Turmeric recipe

Take 1/4 cup turmeric powder, mix with 1/2 cup pure water and simmer over medium-high heat for at least 7 minutes, stirring constantly. You will notice a thick paste form. If it get’s too dry while cooking you can add additional water. Once cooled, put into a glass jar and put in fridge. This is good for up to one month.

Golden Milk:

Add 1 tsp. to 1 cup. hot milk (cow, goat, soy, rice, almond, or any combination), maple syrup or honey to taste and 1/2 tsp. of almond or sesame oil. Gently heat and stir.

My family loves this just before going to bed.
