Professor Capybara’s Banana Fact

There’s an outstanding book titled The Fish that Ate the Whale, by Rich Cohen, which is all about Samuel Zemurray, the "Banana King" of America. The book has a lot of interesting facts about bananas, including:

• Bananas are technically a berry.

• Some bananas are grown in Iceland.

• In order to sell more bananas, the United Fruit Company created recipes where bananas would be incorporated into every meal - from putting bananas on cereal in the morning to enjoying a banana split for dessert.

Also, here are three local marmoset monkeys enjoying a mid-afternoon banana snack!
