      Welcome to the real world. I got my degree in 1971 and had to go back to school for a different profession to get a job. You can't major in philosophy or home ec and expect to get a whole lot of job offers. You have to make yourself marketable.

    Most locals here in the Philippines and the rest of south east asia. Use banana stem for textile, 🐷 pigfood, or BBq 🍖 stand... the leaves are used as kitchen uttensils and disposable packaging, the heart can be eaten including the peel and shoot ...the peel is used for polishing shoes... the rest became fertilizer........ sicnce my island is one of the top exporters of banana 🍌 in asia, i can buy almost 10kilos of banana with less than a 💵 dollar... aside from that their are plenty of banana variety to choose from my favorite is ‘sabah’, but i dont like mono culture cavendish banana many plantations here are in peril because of banana deseases....

    The inside core of the banana stem, the white stuff is very good in making blood in the human body. You can fry it and have it with rice when the bananas are soft little and mushy still in the flower.
