Healthy Tip: Open a Banana Like a Monkey!

July 27th 2009 by Dr.MOZ in Family Health, Food Fun

If you have a toddler in the house, chances are good that you hear the “W” word dozens of times a day. Why do bananas grow on trees? Why are bananas yellow? Why do you open bananas from the stem instead of by the end like a monkey? What? You don’t open a
banana like a monkey? Well come on, watch the video and give it a try!

Have fun and stay healthy,

    That was kinda funny yet very helpful video. But, Why worry on how to peal a banana? you can just split it in two if you want to eat one.

    great video though.

    Be back to read more.

    Funny video dude. I’ve tried to open banana in the way which is shown in video, it’s really tough job for me. By the way usually I’ve been used to eating banana after peeling it. ..

    No-Way. It’s true! I just tried it and it really works!
    Like you I never would’ve thought of that if someone hadn’t shown me :o )
    I wont be able to resist correcting everyone now on how to properly ‘crack’ bananas- thanks doc!

    That was great! Thanks for the tips. I’m getting a banana to try it. Pretty cool post!

    After watching your video I have to say I’ve never seen it done that way before…And I’m probably twice your age!

    That’s cool. I’ve always opened my bananas from the top. This looks much easier.

  11. FB Says:

    Excellent.

    This begs the question though, who is cleverer (at peeling bananas anyway) man or ape?

    Haha this cleared some things up, I must say. Been having this argument with my girlfriend for some time now about the correct way to peel a banana; I think one should break of the “top”, but my gf think we should do it like the monkeys and use the “top” like some kind of handle.. Guess she`s right. lol

    I’ve never even seen that before. Very cool, thanks for the monkey lesson. I can’t wait to show my kids.
