Is a banana a fruit or a veggie?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Both. A banana (the yellow thing you peel and eat) is undoubtedly a fruit (containing the seeds of the plant, though since commercially grown banana plants are sterile, the seeds are reduced to little specks. However, the banana plant, though it is called a 'banana-tree' in popular usage, is technically regarded as a herbaceous plant (or 'herb'), not a tree, because the stem does not contain true woody tissue.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Although banana cake and banana bread have similar ingredients, they are very different in the way they are made and how the final product comes out. Banana cake is lighter in texture and is usually leavened with baking soda and buttermilk. Banana Bread is heavier and moister with baking powder and soda to help it rise.

How do you exterminate a banana tree?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

dig it up from the ground with a shovel or you can cut it down eventualy it will die hope this helps you.=P

Cutting it down will NOT kill it. Believe me, I tried. What worked for me was cutting it down as far as possible, hollowing out a two inch by two inch hole in the center of the trunk and pouring Roundup into the hole. Within a week or so, the Roundup will seep into the hole and kill the root. Digging it up, well, that`s a whole other story. The roots are very tenacious and don`t come out easily. Hope this helps.

How do you make vanilla Pudding into Banana Pudding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bananas are both simple and decadent. Delicious on their own and when combined with other ingredients, they remain a favorite fruit of both young and old people worldwide. Bananas are grown in tropical locations like Africa, Latin America, Caribbean, and the Pacific. They are imported to the United States and other parts of the world where they are purchased, eaten, and enjoyed. Banana pudding is creamy and satisfying. It's the type of dessert that can be easily prepared at home with the right recipe. The main ingredients in banana pudding are bananas, sugar, flour, salt, evaporated milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla extract. Vanilla wafers and whipped cream are optional and make even the simplest banana pudding elegant. Banana pudding is so easy to prepare that even children can create dishes of it and share them with their family members and friends. Non-dairy eaters can enjoy similar recipes that omit things like milk and eggs and substitute them with coconut milk and egg replacer. There are even gourmet banana pudding recipes that are served in fine dining restaurants around the world. These recipes use fresh vanilla bean, tempered chocolate, salted caramel, and other types of delicious ingredients. It's not your mother's banana pudding recipe so to speak! Banana pudding can be baked or refrigerated. Many home cooks prefer chilling their desserts. Some use a prepackaged pudding. They choose either vanilla or banana flavored mix, add the ingredients listed on the package, layer fresh bananas in a serving dish, and let it get cold. The National Banana Pudding Festival takes place in Centerville, Tennessee each year. People around the state showcase their best banana pudding recipe. There's live music on two different stages, arts, crafts, games, puppet shows, kid activities, and delicious banana pudding to taste. Showing off southern hospitality in one of the most beautiful states in the country is the goal of this unique, yearly festival.

Are plantains healthier than potatoes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would check out wolframalpha.com to see the specs for yourself. Its a website designed for advanced math calculations and all things numbers, and oddly enough they have impressive breakdowns of a lot of foods nutrition. Just search the foods and a measurement (like cup or grams)

A plantain vs a russet potato:

-For every weighted unit of plantain, the potato will have fewer calories.

-Plantains also have a ton of sugar in them compared to a russet potato

-the potato has higher sodium levels.

-plantain lacks in protein compared to potato

-plantain also has more carbs than potato

The rest of the nutrition goes back and forth, so things like vitamins and minerals will differ some. In my opinion, plantains taste amazing compared to potato, but looking at the stats, russet potato wins in nutrition in general. However you might want to check other types of potatoes and see how they stack up.

Hope this helped!

What cause the banana to ripe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Bananas ripen from green to yellow-green to yellow to slightly freckled to deeply freckled to bruised to black to rotten. A process called oxidation, starts. and it basically lets ethylene out of the fruit. The more ethylene that a fruit releases the more it ripens. The ethylene produces a gas called amylase which breaks down the starch in the bananas (starch is hard), and turns it into sugar, ( makes it soft.). Amylase then makes an enzyme that is called pectinase, which breaks down the cell walls of the banana (making it softer).
