However, there are several types of bananas, including light blue ones that, due to their ripening, often have a vanilla flavor but are almost impossible to find in Italy.
On the other hand, in recent times in Italy it is possible to find red bananas that are much sweeter than normal ones, although their cost is high and is around three times higher than normal ones.
The secret that few know
The banana has also become very loved by the little ones after its popularity thanks to the Minions characters, the Despicable Me minions who have a sweet tooth for this fruit.
But not everyone knows that even if we only eat the inside of the fruit and throw away the peel, we are actually wasting something really precious that we should all use at home.

What we will have is a set of banana fibers that will be very useful for our plants, since when placed in the soil inside the pot they will act as an excellent fertilizer for our plants.
In this way, these will grow strong and vigorous, not only acquiring water but also the intrinsic properties within the banana fibers that , in contact with water and soil, will give vigor to our plant.
