modern, 1t seems not at all unlikely that
banana flour is an article that has a pros

thrive, the fruits. when dry, are converted
into meal and used for making cakes, pud-
dings, and for various other uses in cook
cry. An effort is being made TO establish a
factory Tor the manufacture of banana
meal.
As to the use Of banana flour for brew
ing purpose, Mr.. Kahike, one of the best

Banana flour. without doubt, from its
richness In starch and its good flavor. is
particularly suitable for the manufacture of
