National Banana Lovers Day, National Pots de Creme Day in United States

One of the many reasons why bananas are one of the best superfoods is because they are a potassium rich fruit – and the benefits of potassium are plentiful. Potassium can help lower blood pressure, support the nervous system, protect the heart, and help with muscle function.

Though the name doesn't imply as much, bananas are considered berries. Bananas may have been the world's first cultivated fruit. The banana is so cheap and widely available that, decades ago, it surpassed the apple to become the most widely consumed fruit in the country.

Technically the pots de creme is a lightly set, baked custard. You can store this decadent dessert in your refrigerator for 2-3 days. Store the whipped cream separate and add when serving.
