      Bananas are a common name given to large giant leafy terna plants extending from the Musaceae tribe. Some species produce fruit of consumption called the same. The fruit is arranged in clusters with groups composed of fingers called combs. Almost all bananas have yellow skin when ripe, although some are orange, red, green, purple, or even almost black. Banana as a food is a source of energy (carbohydrates) and minerals, especially potassium. (Also read : Asking Permission Letter)

      The energy value of bananas is about 136 calories for every 100 grams which overall comes from carbohydrates. The value of banana energy is twice as high as apples. Apples of the same weight (100 grams) contain only 54 calories.

      Banana carbohydrates provide energy a little slower than sugar and syrup, but faster than rice, biscuits, and some kind of bread. Therefore, many athletes at intervals or breaks consume bananas as energy reserves.

      Banana energy content is an instant energy that is easily available in a short time, so it is useful in providing the need for instantaneous calories.
