Banana is not new to anyone. It is variable in size, colour and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved with a firm and creamy flesh. The fruit grows in clusters which contain anywhere from 50 to 150 bananas with individual fruits grouped in bunches, known as “Hands“, containing 10 to 25 bananas. They are grown in at least 107 countries, primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent to make fibre, banana wine and banana beer and as ornamental plants.

Weight Loss: Finding foods to fit into your weight loss diet can be challenging, but bananas make a perfect fit. Bananas taste sweet and are filling, which helps curb cravings. A 6-inch banana has a minimal 90 calories, about one-fourth of the calories you would get from a chocolate candy bar.
