Bananas are one of the most common and widely grown fruit crops in the Philippines. Banana has a variety of uses. The ripe fruit can be pureed, candied, and preserved in various forms when not eaten fresh. Its extract is used in the manufacture of catsup, vinegar, and wine. The unripe fruit is powdered and chipped. Bananas float in water, as do apples and watermelons. If you rub the inside of a banana peel on a scrape or burn, it will help the pain go away, keep the swelling down, and keep the wound from getting infected. If you rub the inside of a small piece of banana peel on a wart every night (or tape a piece of peel over the wart), the potassium in the peel can make the wart disappear in one to two weeks. More than 100 billion bananas are eaten every year in the world, making them the fourth most popular agricultural product.
