Tour Scotland Video Bananas Song Fruit Festival Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of the Bananas Song at the fruit festival on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to a Market in Perth, Perthshire. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Portuguese colonists started banana plantations in the Atlantic Islands, Brazil, and western Africa. North Americans began consuming bananas on a small scale at very high prices shortly after the Civil War, though it was only in the 1880s that it became more widespread. bananas are extremely nutritious; rich in potassium, riboflavin, niacin and fibre, and the rapid energy boost given by their high sugar levels means that they're a great snack.
