Show Thursday, April 3, 2008 NORTH COUNTY NEWSPAPERS Page 17 taste Emily Marlowe NORTH COUNTY STAFF I want to love fruit. I want to be the kind of person that has fruit sitting on the counter all the time, and snacks on it through out the day. But, there are only a few select fruits that I really enjoy. This is partly because I have a problem with food that has "texture." Some fruit just has a texture that my cheeks and tongue do not agree with, and partly because I am allergic to some fruit. It can cause small sores in my mouth, and then I cannot enjoy good food in life like bread. But, with that said. I do love bananas. I love to peel a banana from the bottom instead of the top (this causes your banana to be less "stringy".) I love to cut a banana up and put it on top of my Rice Crispy cereal in the morning, or often at night. I think bananas are fun to eat. And let me tell you first hand, that bananas help with morning morn-ing sickness, or a touch of the stomach bug. They are proven to settle an upset stomach. I want to share a few ideas with you about bananas, and 4 then a recipe that was sent to me to share with you from Barbara Bar-bara Wilson of Orem.

I enjoy making banana bread, and my husband enjoys eating it even more. I have shared with you in the past a banana bread recipe, but Barbara's is delicious and you may just find that it will replace your old banana ba-nana bread recipe. As bananas ripen, they will taste sweeter because the starch in the fruit will turn to sugar. You can toss bananas to your cereals, salads, yogurt, salsa, smoothie or shakes. You should store your bananas ba-nanas on the counter at room temperature until they reach the ripeness you want, and then you can store them in the refrigerator. The peel of the fruit will darken in the refrigerator refrig-erator but the banana inside will remain firm and delicious. To ripen a banana faster, place in a brown paper bag with an apple or tomato overnight. If your bananas are very ripe, but you won't get around to making Barbara's bread for a couple of days, mash your bananas and place in the freezer freez-er in a freezer bag. This way they are ready to be thawed and used when you are ready to bake. Bananas contain three natural natu-ral sugars sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, in-stant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.
