I think most people love a Banana, and today is National Banana Lovers Day.  

It gives people the opportunity to enjoy bananas either as it, in smoothies, in custard, topped with ice cream or in a banana split. I sometimes have one with cereal and yogurt for breakfast.  

Now, this will surprise you: There are over 1,000 varieties. They are divided into 50 groups, and the most popular and exported is the Cavendish variety. 

The Banana is believed to be over 2000 years old and originates from Southeast Asia. The Arabs first brought them to the rest of the world, and since then, they have reached every continent. 

Bananas are good for you. They are rich in potassium and other vitamins, but beware they are extremely high in sugar. They say a banana will give you more energy than chocolate, but not sure about that one. 

To celebrate today, enjoy some bananas, make some banana bread, eat one with ice cream, or make a smoothie, or even bake a banana cake. 

Whatever you do, enjoy it, and have fun with this very versatile fruit. 

So today, post all things banana-related, be it food-based, gifs, pics or music.
