Bananas
A medium banana provides roughly 110 calories, 28 grams of carbohydrates, 3 grams of fiber, 1 gram of protein, and 450 mg of potassium. Bananas are rich in vitamin B6, vitamin C, manganese, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. Unripe bananas are high in starch, including resistant starch, which supports gut health, while ripe bananas contain more natural sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose
Description
Bananas grow on large herbaceous plants that resemble trees but are technically giant herbs. They are native to Southeast Asia and were likely first domesticated in New Guinea over years ago. Modern edible bananas are mostly seedless and sterile, reproducing through shoots or suckers, making them genetically identical clones.
