Product Information

Applesauce can be used in a 1:1 ratio for mashed bananas in any recipe. If replacing a whole banana, use ½ cup applesauce for 1 banana. The classification of cultivated bananas has long been a problematic issue for taxonomists. Linnaeus originally placed bananas into two species based only on their uses as food: Musa sapientum for dessert bananas and Musa paradisiaca for plantains. More species names were added, but this approach proved to be inadequate for the number of cultivars in the primary center of diversity of the genus, Southeast Asia. Many of these cultivars were given names that were later discovered to be synonyms. [40] You can also look into other sources of nutrition, such as nuts, seeds, legumes, and grains like wheat, oats, and quinoa. The accepted scientific names for most groups of cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata Colla and Musa balbisiana Colla for the ancestral species, and Musa × paradisiaca L. for the hybrid M. acuminata × M. balbisiana.

The K-40 in a banana emits about 15 becquerels or 0.1 micro sieverts (units of radioactivity exposure), [32] an amount that does not add to the total body radiation dose when a banana is consumed. [27] [31] By comparison, the normal radiation exposure of an average person over one day is 10 microsieverts, a commercial flight across the United States exposes a person to about 40 microsieverts, [33] and the total yearly radiation exposure from the K-40 sources in a person's body is about 390 microsieverts. [32] [ bettersourceneeded] Etymology Source: FAOSTAT of the United Nations [100] Note: Some countries distinguish between bananas and plantains, but four of the top six producers do not, thus necessitating comparisons using the total for bananas and plantains combined. According to current sources, a deadly form of Panama disease is infecting 'Cavendish'. All plants are genetically identical, which prevents evolution of disease resistance. Researchers are examining hundreds of wild varieties for resistance.

In summary, in commerce in Europe and the Americas (although not in small-scale cultivation), it is possible to distinguish between "bananas", which are eaten raw, and "plantains", which are cooked. In other regions of the world, particularly India, Southeast Asia and the islands of the Pacific, there are many more kinds of banana and the two-fold distinction is not useful and not made in local languages. Plantains are one of many kinds of cooking bananas, which are not always distinct from dessert bananas. Once the sugar has dissolved, stop stirring and attach a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. No matter what tastes good on a banana, it’s important to remember to choose healthy and nutritious ingredients. While pumpkin will provide a great texture, it will drastically change the flavor of your recipe. Therefore, be mindful that the recipe can take on a nice pumpkin flavor before using this as a substitute. So, while we may never know the exact reason why some foods have a banana aftertaste, it is likely that a combination of these theories could explain why this odd phenomenon occurs. How Do You Neutralize The Smell Of Bananas?

But when they’re ripe, they can be eaten raw. Though, they are nowhere near as soft as dessert bananas. Like avocados, this alternative is high in fat. Therefore, while it will provide a lovely moist, and creamy consistency to baked goods it will also add fat. So, if you are looking to keep the fat content low aim for Greek Yogurt or another zero-fat fruit or veggie. They should be baked or boiled before they are eaten. Otherwise, they have a very harsh and unpleasant flavor. Plus, they are high in vitamins B6 and vitamin B12, important vitamins on a vegan diet that most vegans buy as a supplement. The excessive use of fertilizers often left in abandoned plantations contributes greatly to eutrophication in local streams and lakes, and harms aquatic life after algal blooms deprive fish of oxygen. It has been theorized that destruction of 60% of coral reefs along the coasts of Costa Rica is partially from sediments from banana plantations. Another issue is the deforestation associated with expanding banana production. As monocultures rapidly deplete soil nutrients plantations expand to areas with rich soils and cut down forests, which also affects soil erosion and degradation, and increases frequency of flooding. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) stated that banana production produced more waste than any other agricultural sector, mostly from discarded banana plants, bags used to cover the bananas, strings to tie them, and containers for transport.

That classic artificial banana flavor is a compound called isoamyl acetate. This compound — known as an ester — is the main molecule that provides a banana its flavor. However, fruits contain myriad compounds, resulting in a more complex taste. While isoamyl acetate may be the star of banana flavor, it’s not the only nuance in bananas. Banana candy, though, is all isoamyl acetate. When cooked and mashed, sweet potatoes have a similar starchy base that is absorbent just like bananas. Therefore, they will bind ingredients in a recipe a lot like bananas will.Bananas are a wonderfully versatile fruit. While they are delicious to eat on their own, they are also excellent ingredients for baking. As with all living things on earth, potassium-containing bananas emit radioactivity at low levels occurring naturally from potassium-40 ( 40K or K-40), [27] which is one of several isotopes of potassium. [28] [29] The banana equivalent dose of radiation was developed in 1995 as a simple teaching-tool to educate the public about the natural, small amount of K-40 radiation occurring in every human and in common foods. [30] [31] You may think of avocados as savory, but they are also great for sweet treats! They can be used as a base for many baked goods and smoothies. To get rid of all particles in the infusion, properly strain it. For this, use the cheesecloth to filter the liqueur and to remove the larger particles. This ingredient is widely used in baking because it has a very strong flavor and is often used as a substitute for bananas.
