No, banana is not a low carb fruit. When compared to some other fruits, such as berries, banana is considered a high carb fruit. For the carbohydrate content of banana, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Some people home-freeze bananas by peeling them, placing the fruit in a plastic bag, sealing it then placing it in the freezer.

Another method would be to peel the banana, mash it into a pulp, add one Tbsp lemon juice per cup of banana pulp, then package it and freeze.

Plantains are firmer and have a lower sugar content than bananas. Also, plantains are starchy and can be cooked and eaten like a potato when unripe (green). When overripe, plantains are sweet. Bananas are mostly eaten raw and are much sweeter.

According to Wikipedia:

"There is no formal botanical distinction between bananas and plantains, and the use of either term is based purely on how the fruits are consumed."

because bananas grow in the direction of the sun. once a banana tree is almost ripe, the fruit gets heavier so it falls down. the bananas still grow in the direction of the sun, so it becomes kinda curly. you know.

you can store bananas in the lockup storage center, underground a cemetary, or in your pajamas. Anywhere else will cause the banana large stress, leading you to a scary banana cancer, which gives you 100 percent chance of death and 100 percent chance of the banana eating your skin.

in a banana tree, buds usually appear. they are much younger and grows into another banana. that's why you can see a small cluster of banana trees. so when you see a bud which is still a foot high, remove it by digging a portion of land that surrounds it. never forget to include the root when you uproot the bud. then simply plant it to another area.

Hold the banana with the stalk pointing down and the tip up. Now open the banana at the tip, peeling all sides after you have done so. Use the stalk as a handle once you have peeled and eaten most of the body.

Never peel a banana from the stalk. This is the wrong way. Peeling from the tip down is the right way.

There are more than 50 different species of banana. Most are the wild banana and have large seeds. These are not the banana most people think of when thinking of the banana, which has domesticated varieties.

The answer depends on which banana bush you mean and where you are in the mountains. There is a banana bush or shrub called Michelia or Magnolia figo that has light-green leaves and has flowers that smell like bananas (no edible fruit). That shrub will only survive typical winters in the southwestern mountains near Georgia (if unprotected).

If you mean the plants that produce edible bananas (Musa genus), they may survive and grow slowly if you either store them out of the elements in the winter or wrap the trunks or pseudostems extensively (especially at higher elevations or closer to Virginia). If you are wanting to grow banana plants for decoration or for their leaves, then you might consider Musa basjoo, the hardy or "Japanese" fiber banana, which will grow and overwinter almost anywhere in the mountains if you mulch the plant bases in winter.

Actually... "The green skin of banana contains a gaseous plant hormone, ethylene, which diffuses into the fruit and hastens the process of ripening.

It is yellow when the fruit is ripe and turns black with the production of more and more ethylene. The large number of enzymes of Kreb's cycle convert citric acid, mallic acid and oxalic acid into glucose in a banana, to make it sweet during the process of ripening. When the banana is kept in the refrigerator, the enzymatic reactions are stopped by the cold but the production of ethylene hormone continues. This turns its skin black

I think bread molds the fastest because I had bread in my house and it got moldy within a couple weeks. If not then I think vegetables, specifically tomatoes, mold a close second.

First let me start by saying I don't know who you are but I am praying for you. To answer you, the lord god unfortunately can't stop your dad from saying hurtful things. God gave each human the right to choice. But there are ways to help. First, is this brought on because of how you act? Certain actions bring out the worst in people. If you constantly disobey, or back talk or generally just don't respect your dad, he could be responding to that in anger. Although if that's not the case, you need to talk to your dad one on one. Tell him how you feel. (Write all your feelings down beforehand so you don't forget to mention something.) If this is clearely not an option you must contact the proper authorities, or reauthorization out to family. WARNING- I am just giving you advice you don't have to do it, and i am not forcing you. In NO way am I responsible for what happens if you choose to take this advice.

Only cooked to use a spoon, a knife and a spoon. Don't eat it raw.
