About Bananas, raw
Bananas are an energy-dense fruit relative to watery produce, providing 89 calories per 100 grams against a 75 percent water content. The 22.8 grams of carbohydrate include 12.2 grams of sugar and 2.6 grams of fiber, making the fruit a compact source of readily available carbohydrate. Protein sits at 1.09 grams and fat is minimal at 0.33 grams. Potassium is the defining mineral, at 358 milligrams per 100 grams, supported by magnesium and phosphorus. Folate contributes 20 micrograms and vitamin C 8.7 milligrams, with a useful amount of niacin. Its portability, potassium density and steady carbohydrate load account for the banana's popularity among athletes and as an everyday snack.
