From Baking to Interactive Games, Chiquita Inspires Fans to Celebrate National Banana Day At Home



FORT LAUDERDALE, FL - Maintaining its commitment of being a ‘Good Neighbor’ during the global stay-at-home protocol, Chiquita recognizes families’ need for engaging activities to stay busy and productive. Ahead of National Banana Day on April 15, Chiquita is encouraging fans to celebrate safely with various a-peeling activities such as baking delicious banana-centric recipes, creating custom banana art and playing games available on the Chiquita website. Additionally, fans can participate in various challenges hosted on the official Chiquita Instagram account for a chance to win unique prizes!

Tina Varjabedian, Marketing Manager North America, Chiquita“This year’s National Banana Day is different than any other because people across the country are at home practicing social distancing while facing a great deal of uncertainty,” said Tina Varjabedian, Marketing Manager North America. “By sharing engaging ways for people of all ages to celebrate the holiday at home, Chiquita hopes to reduce stress and provide refreshing distractions, while honoring our mission to highlight the fun side of healthy living.”

Baking is a fantastic stress reliever, and for families with kids at home, it can also be a fun, calming activity to do together. Chiquita bananas are the perfect ingredient to incorporate into any recipe, as they’re packed with generous helpings of important vitamins and minerals, plus natural sugars, which provide energy throughout the day. Plus, bananas can be used throughout each stage of ripeness, minimizing waste and trips to the grocery store.
