Naturally ripe bananas are sweet, and the chips made of it are the best

August 7th is Banana Day； In the history of bananas in Japan, it used to be a luxury item, but now it has become a common food. However, I’ve heard that nowadays, blue bananas are taken and steamed with gas in the shipping vessels.

It seems that it will be shipped after expecting it to ripen by the time it hits the market.

In banana-producing countries, it keeps growing all year round, and the number of stocks increases, so the only one tree is enough to keep from hungry.

It is a super cheap fruit in the tropics with banana trees.

In addition to eating, the leaves can also be used as roof tiles or walls for simple sheds. Since the trunk contains a lot of water, it can be used as food for pigs, and when it dries, it can be used as a building material for houses.

And if you ripen it on a tree, you can’t put it on the market, but this is the sweetest and most delicious, bees and ants come to eat. And if you eat it with coconut milk, you can’t stop it anymore.

A typical example of the banana as a preserved food is “banana chips (fried)”. Great for sake (Japanese wine) snacks. If you use good oil for cooking it, the taste will more improve. Whether you fry it at home or buy it at a store, it’s also super cheap.

An example of this story was a banana tree in the garden of my country house in Chiang-Rai, northern Thailand, and a mountain tribe village living on the outskirts of the village.

@ Digression 1; There are many other ways to use bananas in Thailand. Eating grilled buckwheat with banana fruit is also nutritious.

@ Digression 2; I have heard locally that Japanese immigrants to South America used bananas for pickles. * The banana in the photo is a huge banana that is more than three times as large as a normal banana, and it was surprisingly large even for Thai people. I wish I had a comparative photo.
