ALL THINGS FOOD - PART 3

 Food origins

As we continue to explore food origins, we know 
that wheat is a staple of many countries. In some
countries, bread is served with every meal.

Cereals, beans, dairy products, grains and bananas
 are included in the staple foods family.


Wheat grows in the fields and winds up on the table
as cakes, breads, muffins and cookies. Wheat is grown
in India, the USA, China, Russia and more.

                                          This recipe yields 2 loaves.

I would like to share a delicious Banana Bread recipe.
