This piece from NPR is welcome news in a period surrounded by crappy news as we slide into Idiocracy. I think it’s pretty awesome because down here in Austin, bananas are 48 cents/pound at HEB (46 at SuperTarget) and you know a chunk of the weight you’re paying for is the peel.
One great source will be Germany. An ex-friend once said the Germans eat their bodyweight annually in bananas. I’m not sure about Americans. I know I ate more as a kid. As I got older, the fruit lost its luster and these days, they’re bit of a chore.
