The Amazing Banana

By Mr Breakfast
The Amazing Banana
A banana a day keeps the doctor away... and the dermatologist...and the psychologist... and if current research can be trusted... death. It seems there's almost no ailment that the banana can't help cure. The word "banan" is Arabic for finger.

The banana is unique among fruits. Rather than growing on trees, bananas come from the world's largest herb, Musa sapientium, which is directly related to the orchid family. They are believed to be the first fruit farmed by man. Available all year round, they are currently the most popular fruit in North America.

NEW PRODUCT REVIEW

Vanilla Almond Shredded Wheat
From Post

Good news... if you like vanilla and shredded wheat, I have a cereal for you. Ground vanilla beans actually appear 6th in the ingredient list for this cereal. The warmth of the vanilla partners with the toasted wheat to provide a full-bodied, satisfying flavor. Specks of vanilla bean swim enticingly around the spoon-size biscuit pieces to remind you what your eating.

The bad news is for almond lovers. Despite appearing 3rd in the ingredient list, the flavor and texture of almonds gets completely lost in this cereal... I mean really lost. I would be surprised if anyone identified that this "vanilla almond" cereal contained almonds if they weren't already aware.

In the case of Vanilla Almond Shredded Wheat, the good outweighs the bad. Even without a clear almond presence, this is a tasty cereal. The sugar content is a little higher than you might expect at 11 grams per serving. But the sweetness of this cereal acts to mellow out the whole wheat flavor and activate the vanilla flavor.

I'm also happy to report that the cereal pieces retain their shape in milk. They don't break down into mushy strands as some shredded wheat cereals tend to do.

In the end, this is a very good cereal. Unfortunately, I suspect Vanilla Almond Shredded Wheat had a shot at being better than "very good" had the flavor of almond lived up to the cereal's name.

Nutritional concerns: Each 1 cup serving without milk has 190 calories, 1.5 grams total fat (0 saturated and 0 trans), 43 grams total carbs, 5 grams dietary fiber, 11 grams sugars, 45 mg sodium and 4 grams protein.

The price we paid: $3.49
