FLOUR FROM BANANAS
Farmers and millers may be surprised to learn that flour has been made from bananas. Bananas needed for this purpose are selected when they are about threequarters ripe and before the starch has been transformed Into sugar. The fruit is then shredded and allowed to dry in the sun, after which it is ground up into flour. The resulting product is said to be grey in colour, with a faint pinkish sheen. There is hardly any taste about this flour, and only occasionally is there a banana aroma. It is claimed to be very digestible, with a large percentage of Vitamin A content.
