Bananas + Monkeys = Genius JT August 4, 2009 Interesting 9 Comments 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.

Reply Mark August 10th, 2009 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. Reply Lilia August 12th, 2009 I just tried it today, I will never peel a banana the old way again!!! Why didn’t I ever try this before?!!! Reply Monty August 27th, 2009 Peeling it this way makes it so you don’t get the nasty “strings”.
