Disease Proof

Operation Banana Hunt marches on! I just got a great email from loyal DiseaseProof readers Jayson and Julie. Have a look see:

Julie and I finally found a banana, its number 060 from Honduras, seems that right now this is the only ones they have. We will keep checking back with that store to see if they get any different batches. The health food store we frequent carries organic bananas from a different supplier.

Just feast your eyes on their banana—or should I say—bananas! Check these babies out:


Sweet! What a lovely couple. Jayson and Julie really loved their Dole organic bananas. Here’s their glowing endorsement:

The bananas were very delicious, used them making some smoothies. Have you ever noticed though how the organic bananas will ripen on the outside but not on the inside, when the non organic ones ripen they ripen on the inside.

Thanks Jayson and Julie! I’m happy to get my hands on your banana—wait, um, yeah—moving on, here’s little about farm number 060. Take a look:

• Country: Honduras Farm
• Units: La Esmeralda and Tepusteca Farms
• Location: Aguán Valley, Yoro Province
• Crops: Organic Bananas
• Organic Certified since: 1996

And for your viewing pleasure, here are snapshots from La Esmeralda and Tepusteca Farms. Enjoy:


Alright everyone, Jayson and Julie did it—so can you! Get out there, buy some Dole organic bananas, check out the Dole Organic Program, take some pictures, and tell me all about it; diseaseproof@gmail.com. Until then—BANANAS, BANANAS, BANANAS!
