iristacey You have a point there. Actually, it size really is a small factor and it is by choice of user on what he or she really likes. It may also depend on the needs, if they have small or big family.

iristacey Your post was very informative. I eat banana almost everyday because I know it is really a good alternative over apples. As far as I know, its pulp is also rich in flavanoids, which is anti-cancer in nature.
