          @RZ923 Bananas have a lot of potassium. πŸ™‚

          The sodium-potassium pumps in the cell membranes of every cell in our body pump potassium ions in one direction, and sodium atoms in the other direction. So, the next time you eat too much salt in the form of chips or pretzels, just eat a few more bananas! 🍌

                • Some cultures (most notably Japan) use the fiber in the banana plant to make fabric and sometimes even paper.

                  BANANA STATISTICS!!!!!!!!! 😜 🍌 🍌

                  More than 100 billion bananas are eaten every year in the world, making them the fourth most popular agricultural product.

                  Americans eat an average of 27 pounds of bananas per person every year.

                  More than 96 percent of American households buy bananas at least once a month.

                  51 percent of bananas are eaten for breakfast at home.

                  The highest average per capita consumption of bananas in the world is in Ecuador, where residents eat an average of 218 pounds of bananas per person every year.

                  India produces more bananas than any other country on the planet, accounting for about 28 percent of the worldwide crop. (China is number two, with ten percent.)

                  A man in India once ate 81 bananas in a half hour.

                  More songs have been written about bananas than about any other fruit.

                    Maybe they were mini bananas?
