Banana

Bananas, native to Southeast Asia, are among the world’s most popular fruits and are now cultivated in over 100 countries. They are tropical berries that start with a green peel, turning yellow and sweet when ripe. In Vietnam, banana cultivation thrives due to the favorable climate and is a vital income source for farmers.

Bananas come in various sizes, colors, and shapes, with Cavendish being the most common. Their advantages include year-round availability, ease of preservation, and versatility in cooking and desserts. Bananas are rich in nutrients such as fiber, potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and antioxidants. They are easily absorbed, aiding in detoxification, supporting the nervous system, and promoting skin health. Additionally, bananas benefit digestion, heart health, and weight management by fostering good bacteria, preventing bowel disorders, reducing appetite, and providing potassium to regulate blood pressure and reduce heart disease risk.
