Banana-Rama
As an imported food, you’d think bananas would have a high carbon footprint. Not so. In fact quite the opposite, even with farming & transport factored in. In New Zealand, bananas have even lower emissions than apples, pears, oranges and berries! - (unless you harvest your own orchard & berries). Bananas are a fantastic oil & sugar substitute in baking. But what if you groan at the thought of baking? No problem. Grab a banana, peel it and munch as is, or mash it onto a slice of toast or a cracker. Want to jazz it up a little? Make a Banana-rama!
