Who Knew…?

I’ve been eating bananas my whole life, as well as feeding them to my kids for the past 10 years, and I have never heard of opening a banana like this!

Actually, I feel a little silly that, at my age, I still struggle with opening bananas – often trying to bend and break it at the base of the stem or digging at the peel near the stem, bruising the fruit inside (which, of course, then usually wastes the top half of it, since my kids want nothing to do with a “banana bruise”… and, quite honestly, neither does their mom… since I’m baring all of my banana-peeling issues here anyway!), before grabbing a knife and cutting into the peel.

I look forward to giving this “Monkey Method” a try bright and early at breakfast tomorrow!  Oh, the things you can find on YouTube!
