One of the fruits we all probably have often are bananas. Bananas are ideal because they are available year round, easy to carry, and what I call nature's "fast food." We probably never think twice when we eat one, except if we are debating what we are going to have with it.
However, did you know that we have ALL been eating bananas wrong after all these years?! I'm not kidding! That's why I turned to monkeys to give me the 411 on the right way to eat them.

Well, I didn't talk to a monkey per se, but this video I dug up depicted the right way to peel a banana as taught by monkeys. Normally you probably do what i do– peel it from the stem. Turns out we silly humans have been doing it wrong!
In the video a man shows us the right way to peel open a banana. He explains that his friend saw him struggling to open a banana and taught him the way monkeys do it. It turns out they peel from the bottom instead of from the stem. The reason is so they won't miss out on any part of the banana meat.
Fascinating, huh?! I just had a banana this morning and naturally opened it the way the average person does it. Now that I know this new piece of information, I'll be peeling my bananas like a true primate.
