Banana Fiber… hum?
I was today’s year old, when I learned that once a banana cluster has been produced, that stem will no longer produce anymore fruit. Not only that, banana fiber is a great plant-based alternative to silk, and a more sustainable alternative to cotton.
Note to self, contact banana producers in St. Croix for the stems after the fruit has been harvested.
