That's an interesting detail about the bananas, I've always found artificial "banana" flavourings too strong, too "artificial" and I vastly prefer the taste of a slightly green banana (as you can buy it in Europe). Apparently the artificial flavourings are actually closer to what the OG bananas tasted like.
- Kluggy 3y agoI only eat slightly green bananas. They're readily available everywhere in the US, so it's not a strictly Europe thing.
- Toutouxc 3y agoOh, I’m sure it isn’t. I just wanted to emphasize that I’m in Europe (central) and what they sell as bananas here may not be the exact same thing as somewhere where you can eat them fresh.
- InSteady 3y agoGreen bananas have a nice balance of resistant starch and prebiotic fiber. They're great for your colon!
- lloeki 3y agoAt some point I grew deeply disgusted of the flavour because of a chemistry bench experiment in school where we made the isoamyl acetate ester, which is basically what most would describe as the archetypal banana flavour... except that when you have a whole classroom of people doing that it gets extremely strong! Took me close to a decade to enjoy bananas again. I still don't like bananas or pears that are too ripe, mostly because they become too sugary for my taste, but also because of the stronger flavour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoamyl_acetate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoamyl_acetate
