Food Trivia
The strawberry is the only agricultural product that has its seeds on the outside.
Banana Facts
A cluster of bananas is called a hand and consists of about 10–20 bananas, known as fingers. As bananas ripen, the starch inside turns to sugar; therefore, the riper the banana, the sweeter it tastes. Great Britain reported that in the year 2001 there were more than 300 banana-related accidents, most of them involving people slipping on banana peels.
