Review Icon balala reviewed Banana in Fruit:
Nutricious, Delicious. Not to mention budget price. And I need to add that this is one of the most versatile fruit! Grill it, bake it, smoothie it, salad it, eat with yogurt, eat with ice cream, eat with whip cream, eat it bread, make a mask with it...and eat it by itself. Because of the cotent of high potassium in the banana skin, guyz, if you have a wart, rub it in!
