Produce OASIS Tip of the Day

March 25 - Banana History & Trivia:

Alexander the Great discovered bananas in his conquest of India in 327 B.C.

Contrary to common belief, bananas do not grow on trees! Instead, bananas grow on compacted, water-filled leaf stalks that grow up to 25 feet high. They are the world's largest herb. (Source: The Packer, 9/9/89)
