On the market, we usually find yellow or green bananas depending on their ripeness, although it is always better, as experts advise, to consume those that are medium ripe.
However, there are various types of bananas, including the light blue ones which, due to their ripeness, tend to have a vanilla flavor but which are almost impossible to find in Italy.
Differently, in recent times in Italy it is possible to find red bananas which are much sweeter than normal ones, even if their cost is high and is around three times that of normal ones.
The secret that few know
The banana has also become much loved by children following its popularity thanks to the Minions characters, the minions from Despicable Me who are fond of this fruit.
But not everyone knows that although we only ingest the internal part of the fruit and throw away the peel, we are actually wasting something truly precious that we should all use at home.
In fact, videos are spreading on the web that explain that once the banana has been peeled, it is necessary to keep the rigid part at the end that holds all the fruits together and let it dry.
