“The Complete Food” was inspired by a photo I took at a food market while on a trip to Zanzibar, an island off the coast of Tanzania. I saw bananas and plantains in all of the markets. Bananas are healthy, convenient, delicious, and are inexpensive. Babies are introduced to solid foods with bananas because the banana contains essential nutrients like folate, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and potassium. Bananas are a source of energy for people who are participating in athletic events. Bananas and plantains constitute a major staple food crop for millions of people in developing countries. Bananas and plantains provide a valuable food source and are important for global food security.
