banana.jpgDid you know: Bananas are considered the world’s large herb. They are related to the lily and orchid family and their gigantic leaves reach up to 30 feet long and their stems weight up to 100 pounds. Bananas are a great addition to anyone’s diet and now more than ever, since the population is getting larger. Just one banana can calm hunger pains for an hour to two hours. Add a banana in your lunch or grab one when you are heading out the door in a rush in the morning hours. They come in their own carry case. ;)
