NATIONAL BANANA BREAD DAY – February 23
Thu Feb 23rd

National Banana Bread Day

Every year, National Banana Bread Day, a well-known food holiday, is celebrated on February 23rd.

Bakers know that to make sweet and delicious banana bread, they must use completely ripe, mashed bananas.. The resulting quick bread is both moist and almost cake-like. And although some recipes call for yeast, most don't. Either way, the finished product makes a delectable sliced snack. For an even more satisfying treat, toast it and add butter.

Baking soda and baking powder made banana bread and other quick breads common features in American cookbooks in the 1930s.. In its 1933 Balanced Recipes cookbook, Pillsbury's included banana bread recipes.' The banana bread's acceptance was further enhanced by the publication of Chiquita Banana's Recipe Book in 1950.

Bans first appeared in the United States in 1870, surprisingly. For a long time, Americans saw the tropical fruit as just that – a fruit, not an ingredient. The banana's potential would take a few decades before they started seeing the banana's potential.

Early banana bread

From The Vienna Model Bakery, one of the first recipes was invented. In the April 21, 1893, edition of St. Louis Post-Dispatch, it advertised banana bread as something new. The Viena Model Bakery, a new restaurant/bakery chain owned by Gaff, Fleischmann & Company, was known for its baked goods and was likely to be one of the first to produce banana bread in the United States. Ban flour was used to make the dish, which was made by drying strips of the fruit and then grinding it to a powder. This process had long been used in the West Indies.

A shortage of bananas resulted from very few ships available to export the fruit in Hawaii during World War I. Alternative uses for bananas were created to minimize waste. For example, bakeries began mixing the fruit into their bread.

The difference between a quick bread and a muffin in baking has a lot to do with the type of fat and how it is mixed, giving the bread a different crumb or texture.

Unifruit, a wholesale produce company, published a free cookbook titled From the Tropics to Your Table in 1927. Bans were included in the book, as ingredients, including banana muffins and breads. This little cookbook would have been useful during the Great Depression, which was just around the corner. At the time, families used every scrap of food, including overripe bananas. They turned overripe bananas and other fruits and vegetables into breads, stews, or other dishes when the flavor and texture were not as appealing raw.
