Go bananas for bananas

The banana, which is technically a berry, is America’s most popular fruit. Did you know that in addition to being tasty and easy to eat, bananas contain vitamins and nutrients essential to a healthy diet? As bananas ripen, their sugar content and sweetness increase, as do the antioxidants. Whether blended in a smoothie, enjoyed with ice cream or eaten straight from the peel, there’s a lot to love with the banana!
