Banana
Banana is a tropical fruit recognized by its elongated curved shape and bright yellow peel that develops brown speckles as it ripens. This naturally sweet fruit provides a quick energy source through its easily digestible carbohydrates, while being particularly rich in potassium—a crucial electrolyte for muscle and nerve function. Its soft, creamy texture when ripe makes it a convenient snack and popular ingredient for smoothies, baking, and frozen desserts, with greener specimens offering more resistant starch for slower energy release.
