About Half a bannana
Half a banana is a versatile and nutritious snack, commonly associated with tropical and global cuisines. Native to Southeast Asia, bananas are now enjoyed worldwide for their natural sweetness and convenience. A half banana provides around 50 calories, primarily from natural sugars, making it a quick energy source. It contains essential nutrients like potassium, which supports heart health and muscle function, vitamin B6 for brain health, and small amounts of dietary fiber for digestion. While low in fat and protein, bananas are naturally free of cholesterol and sodium, contributing to a balanced diet. Their carbohydrates are ideal for replenishing energy, especially for athletes. However, individuals managing diabetes or carb intake should consume in moderation due to their higher glycemic index. Enjoy half a banana as a standalone snack, blended into smoothies, or sliced over oatmeal for a boost of flavor and nutrition.
