#12. How many calories are there in 100 grams of raw banana?
***

Please submit your answers no later than 2:00pm on February 28th, 2014.

This question is based upon a scientific study done to measure the caloric value
of various types of food. The highest values were of course for lard and
vegetable oils. I was surprised to find nuts (pilinuts, macadamia nuts, and
pecans) next on the list.

80 Peter Smyth
89 *** Correct Answer ***
100 Russ S

in contrast, macadamia nuts have 718 calories per 100 grams.

and now there are two. Joshua Kreitzer is eliminated.

This contest is now open to Peter Smyth and Russ S.
