Frozen Banana rocks

Is it safe to say that this thread is 'frozen'?

peel your banana - wrap it in foil and put in in the freezer -- sound wrong

 

Sounds a bit suspect 'ey? A bit of a campaign for the 1st of December?

 

...but thanks for bumping this thread.  This sounds really lekker and will give it a go since I dig nanas.

Wont that be a bit like eating marbles if they are frozen solid?

Now if the starch turns to sugars...etc. Doesn't this mean that you're losing a lot of the nutritional value of a ripe banana. Hell if you gonna be eating sugars why not just eat ice cream anyway. I will try this banana lolly idea, I love bananas but wud be interesting to know whether you should feel guilty when eating it.

Explain the starch to sugar?

Here's the link that started the post :-)

Over-ripe bananas are sweeter' date=' because as the fruit

ripens, the complex starches turn to sugars.

PPWTF? Care to elaborate?

 

[Woofie]

Oh ok.

You are talking about the riper bananas being more unhealthy than the fresh bananas.

Not the freezing process making it into sugar instead of starch.

 

But at the end of the day isnt carbs carbs anyway?

Ok, well the benefit I can see in digesting starch is that there is a slow release of energy, which is what you want, in a suger form its gonna give you a quick high and then a potential dip, and if you dont use that rush of energy(thru exercise) it goes into fat storage.

This thread brought back memories of Durbs way back when you could buy a frozen chocolate covered banana on the beachfront. I'm gonna make some tonight

Not at all. They break up easily when chewed and have a slight sherbet taste to them too. Green Grapes work Best.
