We continue to be surprised as we get larger and sweeter fruit, as our permaculture  soil fertility systems do their magic.

There are approx a thousand different banana plants on the planet, which consumes over 100 billion individual bananas annually making them the worlds 4th largest agricultural crop following only wheat, rice & corn. The banana plant is actually classified as the worlds largest herb (not a fruit tree)  and the banana itself as a berry. The only fruit/berry to contain tryptophan plus vitamin B6 which together help the body produce serotonin a ALL NATURAL mood lifter and anti depressant!

If you rub the inside of a banana peal on a mosquito bite, scrape or burn it helps the itch and pain go away and stops infection!

Less work, more free time, improved health for people and planet! Namaste
