THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT BANANAS
The banana is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. As early as the 15th century, the banana found its way from Southeast Asia via Africa to Europe and South America – whose countries are now among the largest exporters of the sweet fruit.
Bananas are available all year round as they are grown in and imported from more than 30 countries around the world. The perennial fruit feels at home in a tropical, warm, humid climate. Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Panama are among the most important importing countries.
The word “banana” comes from Arabic and means finger. From a purely botanical point of view, bananas are berries. Hard to imagine because of the shape, but all fruits that emerge from a single ovary are called berries.
In Europe, three of the many types of bananas are mainly used. These include the fruit banana, plantain and textile banana.
In our latitudes, the yellow fruit banana is the most common. It is the second most popular fruit in Germany and is eaten, among other things, as a breakfast snack, as a meal before or after sport and as a snack between meals.
The fruit banana contains up to 70% water and many carbohydrates in the form of starch. It also contains a lot of fructose and provides the body with a lot of energy. It offers a high content of minerals such as potassium and contains vitamins A, B, C and E. The dry substance of bananas is therefore also found in many diet powders.
