Strong supply of bananas from Far North Queensland have arrived in time for the start of the school year. Some moderate rainfalls in the growing areas has allowed for crops to freshen up, ensuring quality is very good. On promotion this week in stores, bananas are still the perfect snack for the kids lunch boxes!
HOW TO PICK
A ripe banana has a wonderful, rich flavour that is hard to beat. Bananas ripen after picking, so if you want to eat your bananas immediately, then choose fruit with bright yellow skins and a few brown marks.
HOW TO STORE
Store ripe bananas in the fruit bowl, away from direct sunlight. If you buy bananas that are a little green, store them at room temperature in a brown paper bag with a ripe apple and they will soon sweeten.
