About Bananas, raw
The banana is one of the most-eaten fruits on earth, and it is easy to see why — it is sweet, filling, inexpensive and arrives in its own wrapper. Most of what you find in shops is the Cavendish variety, picked green and ripened on the journey to the shelf, which is why a banana's taste and texture shift so much over a week on the counter.
Bananas are best known for potassium, a mineral that helps keep blood pressure steady and muscles working properly, but they also carry vitamin B6, a little vitamin C, and a dependable hit of natural carbohydrate. That combination is what makes them such a popular snack before or after exercise. A medium banana sits at roughly 90 to 105 calories.
Greener bananas taste starchier and are gentler on blood sugar, while the spotty, fully ripe ones turn sweeter and softer — perfect for baking into bread or blending into a smoothie.
