Banana special

Bananas are a well-known energy food and a great pick-me-up, as any tennis player will tell you, but they're also a versatile and healthy fruit that can be eaten raw, cooked in desserts as a fruit, used in savoury dishes as a vegetable and shaken into exotic cocktails. 

Bananas get a bad rep because they're calorific, but they contain vital vitamins and minerals and they're actually very good for you. Creamy and full of flavour, bananas are easy to incorporate into a healthy diet. Aside from making great snacks, fruit salads, topping for your cereal in the morning and the odd banana split, bananas are a great and healthy addition to any kind of dish, sweet or savoury.

Check out our banana-themed recipes and try incorporating bananas into your main meals and cocktails as well as your puds, for original and exotic delights.
