The banana has no fat or cholesterol, provides antioxidants and fibre, all of which helps to keep the heart (and brain) healthy. The high potassium content helps keep blood pressure normal, and of course it is part of your two fruit serves needed each day for good health.

How many different bananas are there?

How do you store bananas?

Careful where you keep ’em! Storing a banana in the fridge will slow down the ripening process. Put them in a fruit bowl and the enzymes released by the bananas will make the other fruit ripen faster.

When are they ready to eat?

There’s no wrong time to eat a banana. Some like them green, some like them spotty. Spots on a banana are called sugar spots. They let you know how much starch in the banana has been turned into sugar. The spottier, the sweeter. That’s why the spottiest bananas make the best banana bread.
