The health benefits of bananas

In addition to their unique taste and texture, bananas offer many nutritional benefits to our body. These help to keep our health in optimal condition.

They have traditionally been associated with potassium, and are mainly used to prevent muscle cramps. But nowadays bananas are considered a “superfruit” due to their nutritional composition.

Bananas are rich in antioxidants, vitamins such as A, C and E, low in fat and have a high content of fiber and B-complex vitamins. A banana that weighs 100 grams can provide one gram of protein, 25 grams of carbohydrates and 100 calories. It will also give you three grams of fiber and less than one gram of fat.
