Go Bananas!
- One plain milk chocolate candy bar has more protein than a banana.
- Bananas are a good source of vitamin C, potassium and dietary fibre.
- The phrase ‘going bananas’ was first recorded in the Oxford English Dictionary and is linked to the fruit’s ‘comic’ connections with monkeys.
- There are more than 500 varieties of banana in the world.
- Containing three natural sugars, sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fibre, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes.
