    I’ve never heard someone call it the “blossom end”, I’ve always known it to be called the Bananus (banana anus). I think monkeys typically open it on the same end rather than from the stem.

    The kiwi skin on is actually very fibrous, I know someone that was constipated during pregnancy and the only thing that would clear them out was kiwis with skin on!

      Yeah, monkeys open it from the non stem end, and they eat a lot of bananas, so I think they are correct, and the humans are wrong. Also rip reap bananas are almost impossible to open by breaking the stem - I grab a knife to make a cut at the base of the stem if the banana has reached that point.

            A normal speed? I think I get a week and a half between trimmings. You don’t need much fingernail to do it, just enough to be able to push an edge in
