We all know that bananas are extremely nutritious, but not all of us are aware of what bananas can offer. When we think about bananas’ health benefits, the first thing that pops into our heads is usually potassium, although bananas are not the richest sources of this essential nutrient. In fact, avocados and sweet potatoes contain more potassium than bananas. Shocking, right?
Apart from giving your approximately 9 percent of the recommended daily intake for potassium, one medium-sized banana can also offer almost 33 percent of the recommended daily intake for vitamin B6, 14 percent of the RDI for manganese, 11 percent of the RDI for vitamin C, 10 percent of the RDI for copper, 8 percent of the RDI for magnesium and more than 3 grams of fiber.
Plus, the exact same banana packs only 0.4 grams of fat and approximately 105 calories. However, you won’t get that much protein from one medium-sized banana (only 1.3 grams).
