What Everyone Should Know About Eating a Banana

How do you eat your banana? Do you eat it right out of the peel or do you have another unique way to enjoy your fruit? Well I am here today to tell you about the new way you can eat your banana. You can amaze people with your banana eating skills and teach others how to do it in the process. Alternatively, if you have a child who will not eat their fruit you can use this method to make the food more appealing. Most children refer to this method as making banana "fingers".

First, you will want to take a ripe yellow banana. Now that you have your banana in your hands, you can take the peel off. Be very careful not to break off any part of the banana. Discard the peel and turn the banana upside down. Now you should see that there is a place where the seed was attached. If it is still there, you will need to remove it before moving forward. Ask your friends if they have ever tried to eat a banana another way. If they say, no you can show them how to look for the hole that the seed left.

Now that you have located the hole, you will need to carefully insert your fingers and peel off the first part of the banana from its core. Repeat this until you have three separate pieces. You are separating it from bottom to top so they will be long and intact. This is great for children's small motor skills and is a kind of finger fitness. Then you can share your banana "fingers" with your friends.

It may take some practice but most people are impressed when they see it, since they never thought to split a banana in thirds. The original source for this story figured out how to do this when she was preparing some bananas for herself. She is blind and has never seen a person eat a banana before, when her parents saw what she was doing, they were amazed that she would have thought to do that. All the children that have seen her do this to this day still eat their bananas this way. Parents will love to use this to make a healthy food fun for their children to eat. The process by which you split a banana into thirds with your finger is most impressive if you can keep all three "fingers" from breaking. Everyone should try eating their bananas this way it is lots of fun!
