I eat bananas almost on a daily basis. I am one of the believers that they are a perfect food. So, it came as quite a surprise when I recently saw a video that turned my banana world upside down.
Question: How do you open a banana? You peel the stem down, right? Apparently, this is not how monkeys break into this fruit – they start at the other end. Watch this:
Just mind boggling. That said, will you convert?
H/T to Choosing Raw c/o This Is Life In Austin for this revelation. And to Banana Bunker, just because.

Yes, I will convert. It’s so simple, yet so effective, and makes you wonder why you didn’t think of it before!

That’s how we’ve done it since we were kids! My stepdad showed us the way long long ago!

Been doing it that way quite a while. Plus the stem makes a nice handle this way.

You all struggle with opening it from the “top”? I’m game to open it from the other end, but I don’t have problems so no real desire to switch.

I just tried it today, I will never peel a banana the old way again!!! Why didn’t I ever try this before?!!!

Peeling it this way makes it so you don’t get the nasty “strings”.
