I LOVE local farmers markets for the kind of local produce you can find. I mean, I won't be able to get something like bananas there (unless I was in Hawaii...) but for the most part, they're perfect!
Right? Super high in magnesium too which is crucial for muscle recovery. Local food is amazing because its locally sourced and sold close to home.
It's crazy how many of the fruits and veg that are in markets have been *stored* for so long -- like out of season apples. I guess we tend to want what we want. But YES, I've often relied on bananas!
They're a great go to food, I'm on a Ketogenic diet so I cannot have them but sometimes I go off the rails and go "nanners" for some nanners lol. Isn't it weird that they're considered berries of large herbacious plants?!
Doing keto here too! And must say, I don't miss them. I've heard the "berry" fact before -- very funny. I know that the banana we buy now is just one species of what used to be many.
Ketogenic diet
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet that in medicine is used primarily to treat difficult-to-control (refractory) epilepsy in children. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain function. However, if little carbohydrate remains in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies

But I think that was kind of funny… I was telling my friend
