Traditional Thai food is cooked on an open charcoal stove and meat and chicken are frequently barbecued. The Thai people rarely end a meal with an elaborate dessert but with the abundance of bananas in Thailand, the wide range of Thai dishes that include bananas, and their method of cooking, it's no wonder that a favourite dessert is barbecued Thai style bananas. Once you've tried Thai style bananas it'll become a firm favourite. It looks great and tastes even better, and the children love it.
From a health point of view, bananas contain high levels of natural sugars which are a better source of energy than foods that contain refined sugar. Bananas contain a good amount of potassium which helps redress our typically high salt diet. Bananas are often regarded as a super food!
Tip - don't store bananas in the fridge, as their skins will turn black! Keep them at room temperature, or in a cool place.
