About Banana medium

Bananas, native to Southeast Asia, are now cherished worldwide for their rich flavor and versatility. A medium banana, approximately 7–8 inches long, packs about 105 calories and is a nutrient powerhouse. It is an excellent source of potassium, important for heart health and muscle function, and provides vitamin B6, which supports brain health and energy metabolism. With 3 grams of fiber per serving, bananas aid digestion, while natural sugars and carbohydrates deliver quick energy, making them a favorite for athletes and busy lifestyles. Additionally, they contain small amounts of vitamin C and magnesium. Bananas are naturally low in fat and sodium, making them a heart-healthy snack. However, their higher sugar content may require moderation for individuals with certain dietary restrictions. Whether eaten fresh, blended into smoothies, or baked into desserts, bananas offer delicious nutrition and are a staple in cuisines globally.
