Get ready to Bananas!
National Banana Day, a yearly celebration of bananas, is an event that celebrates bananas in all conceivable meanings.
Bananas were believed to have originated from Southeast Asia. However, they are mainly Indian. In 327 BC, Arab conquerors brought them westward. Eventually, bananas reached Europe. Bananas arrived in the Caribbean by the 1870s. Missionaries brought them there to plant micro-crops. This is where one crop helps another grow. Bananas eventually became a profitable crop.
In the West, bananas gained popularity in the late 1800s and early 2000s. Bananas became less expensive and more common, so they were often added to dishes such as the banana split or used in baking recipes, like banana bread.
It is well-known that National Banana Day was founded by students at prestigious American universities. They share strange and delicious banana concoctions. They dress up as bananas, and generally get a little nuts.
Bananas, too.
National Banana Day is a day you can find comfort in this fruit that is both useful and beneficial on many levels. Happy National Banana Day!
National Banana Day is a great opportunity to have a lot of fun and get creative. There aren’t many days of the year that you can have fun and enjoy fruit-based entertainment, so why not let the students take a leaf from their book and celebrate National Banana Day?
