BEST YUMMY BANANA DESSERTS WE LOVE

When I was a little girl my favorite fruit is banana, and it has never changed by now. Four seasons we have the bananas, and they’re so sweet to fill the stomach, what is really the best is that you don’t have to wash them, just peel off.

But I did not recognize that banana is my favorite fruit before I was a grown-up. Although I eat it everyday but I think there must be another fruit that tastes better. I like pitaya for its fiery red and show-off look, watermelon for its juicy pulp, pineapple for its spiral-cut shape, and carambola for its star look. I like things that are novel and special in my childhood, but lately I’ve found that I just crush on those stuff for a little while, however for what I’ve be forgotten it is always by my side.

Even though I’ve sampled many exquisite cuisines and tasted many different flavors, what I like eternally are few dishes, and no matter what I want to eat, I won’t remember long for its savor, those dear ingredients for me are nothing to be devoted, however I eat tomato and potato everyday in my whole life.

Strictly speaking, my favorite banana is jokingly called “mysterious fruit” for its characteristics of edible, easy-to-bring-along and nutritious. Here I won’t talk much about its nutritious value, what I want to emphasize is just one thing, and that is banana can ease our social panic, or what is commonly called depression. Recently, it has been a trend for some time to eat banana in music industry, performers eat bananas to calm their troubled spirits just in avoid of stage fright. A nutritionist in Singapore analyzes that it has much sense to calm down by eating banana, because it contains tryptophan and abundant vitamin B6, both of which are the vital components to compound serum that has the impacts of analgesia and hypnosis. So, it can truly ease tension and pressure by eating banana. And the tryptophan in banana will be able to brighten our mood and thus could cure depression.

And how could people like me who have an enthusiasm on dessert miss a chance to combine banana with dessert? The flavor will be more incisively and vividly after sweet and dense taste banana is made into dessert. It amazes me that banana dessert has its sweetness refreshing and endless, which will never be boring and toneless; it’s our happiness to have banana in dessert world.
