Banana Bread

Banana bread

Banana bread is a type of sweet bread or cake made from mashed bananas. Banana bread is typically classified as a quick bread, relying on chemical leavening agents such as baking soda or baking powder rather than yeast, which allows it to be prepared without fermentation. It is often a moist and sweet quick bread, but some recipes are yeast raised. Its sweet taste and slightly crumbly texture make it more akin to a tea cake or muffin than bread.

Banana

A banana is an elongated, edible fruit that is botanically a berry produced by several kinds of large treelike herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, cooking bananas are called plantains, distinguishing them from dessert bananas. The fruit is variable in size, color and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a peel, which may have a variety of colors when ripe. It grows upward in clusters near the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible seedless (parthenocarp) cultivated bananas come from two wild species – Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana, or their hybrids.
