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.
That's so funny, what of the odds! Yeah we have genetically altered them to be much larger for sure. Thanks to bullet coffees and stuff I get plenty fats but getting that adequate protein intake is difficult for me.
Well, and to your point -- MAGNESIUM. Since (TMI warning) constipation can be a keto challenge, magnesium is a supplement we use to make sure lots of things stay, um, regular. And good for you on balance -- I think people often overdo the protein.
Right?! My aunt came down to visit recently and as a fellow ketoer she told me she hadn't gone for a week! Magnesium cleared that right up. Under a microscope it is a shiny gray solid, how odd!
Very odd! And yikes for your poor aunty! I'm glad that she found a solution, without having to go "bananas" (har har har)
Hahah yes, good old magnesium, who would have thought the 9th most abundant element in the universe would also work as colon voiding magic?
