---

Greetings Everyone,

This is my first blog on STEEMIT HEALTH and I'm really very excited about it. I'm a fruit lover and I found this contest perfect one to take part. Actually almost all fruits are my favorite and I purchase them most of the time. I love eating mangoes, apples, grapes, citrus fruits and so on.

I love seasonal fruits but there is a fruit that available all year long in my country and that is my most favorite. Its Banana that I eat like weekly and sometimes monthly. Monkeys also love bananas so I feel laugh at myself when I choose banana to write this blog. I'm human being and love banana like other animals.

I love both ripe and raw green bananas and these are available in my country and comparatively cheap in price. Raw bananas use as veggie and we prepare fish curries with raw bananas. Banana has different kind of forms and some bananas has seed. I don't like ripe and raw bananas with a lot of seeds. But I like banana recipes like banana milk shake, raw banana fish curry and so on.

^{Ripe Bananas In The Market}

Banana is a kind of fruit which worth to be favorite of many people but there is a dark side that scare me most of the time and that is, many corrupt sellers use carbide to ripe bananas earlier to make it sellable and the banana become poisonous for mixing carbide and other chemicals. Banana is a kind of fruit that we can't store for long time as it got rotten in few days so we should buy small quantity of it and eat them as early as possible.

Health conscious people eat bananas almost everyday and they try to collect organic fruits instead collecting it from the market which is less trustworthy. In my city there is organic farm where from I can collect them so I prefer buying them from the market and can't identify which one is carbide and chemical free. Hope you'll be able to collect the farm fresh bananas to eat. Take care of your health !!
