 GO BANANAS
 Dr Chiranjit Parmar
  Ripe bananas are dried
          in Brazil and some other countries. Such bananas are sold in large
          quantities in food stores of Sao Palo and Rio de Janeiro. There is no
          added sugar or preservative. The fruits make a perfect snack
          especially if you are looking for an energy boost. Though these are
          whole fruits, but they look smaller in size as the fruits shrink after
          losing moisture in drying process. The taste is right, not overtly
          sweet, texture is chewy and the flavour is perfect. The drying process
          is carried out in sun. It seems that Brazilian weather and the
          Brazilian banana varieties are suitable for sun drying.
