Ever Seen A Black Banana??

By News Feb 9, 2021 | 11:18 AM

Well I haven’t either…..I mean a totally black banana….but take a look at that picture.  Weird huh?

Here’s what happened.  Yesterday morning I grabbed a fresh, yellow banana from the kitchen at home, drove to work,  and promptly forgot to grab the banana from the front seat when I got here.  So it was in my car all morning and after the show, I had to go out to my car and when I got out there I found the banana….still fresh and bright yellow….sitting on the passenger seat!  So I grabbed it to bring it into the station for a mid-morning snack.  BUT…..it was TOTALLY FROZEN.  I mean HARD AS A ROCK!!  But, still yellow. So I left it on my desk to thaw out and figured I would eat it later.  I noticed later in the morning it was starting to brown a little bit, but no big deal.

Well I did not eat it yesterday and when I got here this morning….that black banana is what I found.  Completely black!  Not a total loss though.  I cooked up some oatmeal and then peeled the banana to see what it looked like, and it looked pretty good under that black skin.  So I chopped it up and mixed it in with the oatmeal for my mid-morning snack today!  Tasted just fine!  Pretty weird though that it turned completely black overnight.  Stay warm and safe!
