I thought 'onze' was used for 'de' words? Why is 'ons' used here when 'banaan' is a 'de' word?

As a noun, "eten" is a het-word. So "het eten" becomes "ons eten". The form is unrelated to the banana.

After a possessive (like "onze") adjectives also get the ending -e, just like after a definite article.

why not "enkel eten"? there was another sentence where "enkel" meant "one".
"geen enkel kind hoort het schaap".
