Of all kinds, such as potatoes.
Our government experts at WASH
ingtOn tell us that the banana Is not
only one Of the most nutritious fruits
but is one Of the most easily digest
ed, which explodes some popular the
cries regarding this fruit.
The banana has still another quality
which should highly recommend it.
The thick skin which covers it is a
protection against all contamination
and makes it one of the most sanitary
articles Of diet.
As to the digestibility Of the banana,
ripe ones are classed with the easily
digested foods, but 1t is important to
see that the fruit Is ripe. The skin
of the fruit should be dark yellow or
covered with brown spots; often the
best fruit If firm Is found In the skins
which are dark brown.
Care should be taken to have the
fruit cut from the stalk leaving the
skin unbroken.
A ripe banana served with a glass
Of milk is satisfying meal for one
desiring light luncheon.
