Happy National Banana Day!

April 19th is National Banana Day! It’s the perfect day to celebrate one of the world's most popular fruits. Bananas are not only delicious, but they are also a great source of nutrition. They are rich in fiber, potassium, and Vitamin C. In honor of this fantastic fruit, I asked some of my fellow Frisco Library staff to answer some questions about bananas and here are the results!

Question 1: Do you like bananas? 

    • 100% of the people questioned do like bananas. Clearly we’ve got some serious banana lovers at the Frisco library!

Question 2: Do you keep your bananas on the counter or in the fridge?

    • Only 2 people (myself included) keep their bananas in the fridge. 

Question 3: Do you prefer your bananas a little more green or a little more yellow?

    • Personally, I love a banana that's fairly green, but almost everyone else who answered prefers their bananas nice and yellow. 

Question 4: What's your favorite way to eat a banana? 

    • The most common answers were banana bread, with peanut butter, and in a smoothie. 
    • Some of my favorite replies were sliced banana with milk and a little sugar, banana cream pie, and an open-faced sandwich with almond butter, banana slices, and drizzled honey. YUM!
    • My favorite way is to coat a sliced banana with lemon juice and freeze it! It’s a delicious summer treat!

The results are in! Bananas are great and you can enjoy them in a million different ways. This National Banana Day don’t forget to eat a banana in your favorite way and check out one of these brilliant banana books!
