- - Bananas - -

Did you know? Bananas are naturally slightly radioactive because of their high potassium content. Supporters of nuclear power sometimes refer to the banana's dose of radiation to support their arguments. Banana shipments often set off the radiation monitors installed at US ports to detect illegal shipments of radiological material. Despite this fact bananas contain considerable amounts of Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C. Bananas are classified either as dessert bananas (meaning they are yellow and fully ripe when eaten) or as green cooking bananas. So cook up some banana bread, bananas foster or the Southern Favorite Banana Pudding! ~ Chef Wilkinson ~
