Bananas are a tasty and convenient source of some important nutrients. People have grown this tropical fruit since ancient times, and its health benefits have been promoted for more than a century.  

You can eat bananas raw or mixed in your favorite smoothie. You can enjoy your own homemade peanut butter-banana sandwich, banana bread, or banana muffins. The possibilities are plentiful.

Plus, bananas:

  • Can be found at your grocery store all year long
  • Are easily stored
  • Come in their own yellow carrying case when you’re on the go
