at d'kranji farm resort, located at neo tiew lane 2, you can view two bunches of an uncommon species of banana called the 1000 fingers. i read somewhere that the stalk, which is more than a metre long, will continue to grow and add fruit till it touches the ground. (i was told that you can see them at the desaru's fruit farm in johor.)
the bananas, which are around 5cm long, are seedless, sweet and have a pleasant flavour.
i remember receiving an email - i think it was from nah - extolling the benefits of eating bananas.
it seems bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose.
a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. it is no wonder that it is the number fruit with the world's leading athletes.
this unique tropical fruit is extremely rich in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure.
bananas are best eaten when they are very ripe (mature). you should not keep bananas in the refrigerator because they lose their flavour very quickly.
when we were young and when we constipated, my mother would buy bananas for us to eat. there seems to be some truth in this home remedy because the high fibre in the banana helps in bowel movement.
eating bananas make you as happy (or as cheeky) as a monkey. some chemical found in the banana puts you in a good mood.
