History of National Banana Cream Pie Day

Historians have traced back the origins of pie to the Neolithic Period, around 6000 B.C. It has been discovered that during this period, ancient Egyptians made a version of pies called ‘galettes,’ which were rustic free-form pies, made from oats, wheat, rye, and barley. The crust was filled with honey and the galettes were then baked over hot coals.

In 1620, European pilgrims came to America with their favorite family pie recipes. These recipes were adapted to accommodate the resources already available to them in America. Initially, their pies were baked using berries and fruits that the Native Americans showed them. The European women used round pans for their baking in order to stretch the ingredients as they were scarce.

In the 1700s, American women cemented the tradition of serving pies with every meal and thus the pie became an important part of American cuisine and culture. Pies were seen at every public gathering and fair in America. As more settlers moved to other parts of the continent, various kinds of regional pies were created. Pie ingredients are constantly being experimented with to this day to meet the demands of a hungry, pie-loving population.

Banana Cream Pies became famous in the 20th century. In the 1950s, these pies became the favorite dessert of many American soldiers. These pies were essentially thin pastries, full of thick and creamy banana custard. The pie’s popularity has spread worldwide. The British version of this is the Banoffee pie, which is made using bananas and toffee.

National Banana Cream Pie Day The Banana Cream Pie is a work of culinary magic with old-fashioned custard pie; it is a combination of creamy vanilla custard, sliced bananas and fresh whipped cream layered in a graham cracker crust. Many chefs have made the pie with chocolate shavings or butterscotch drizzles. High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia. 🍌🥧 #NationalBananaCreamPieDay #Food #FoodSolutions #FoodService #FoodServiceSolutions #FoodSales #WeKnowFood #FoodConsultant #FoodDude #FoodOfTheDay #NobertSales @NobertSales https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSw_VeAjTS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
