Growing up I had a strong aversion to bananas. As a child, when I asked my mother what there was to eat she would always try to persuade me to have a banana, but I refused. To this day, if you ask her to tell the story it involves me, a tantrum and a smashed banana. Fast forward many years later and here I am including this fruit as a staple in my diet and raving about the nutritional benefits and how versatile it can be.
