This is a Keeper! I had no clue...the one about the teeth threw me for a loop though since after I ate a banana my teeth felt like the enamel was coming off. Thanks for this and it will travel!

Also toss a few new skins into the middle of your Elk Horn Fern or Stag Ferns and watch it grow madly. They love Bananas.

Take that same frozen banana, dip it in melted chocolate chips and then chopped walnuts...eat! Oh, yum! Great ideas!
