Banana (2 pieces)

Description

Banana (2 pieces) is a fruit with a creamy, soft texture and a sweet, slightly honey-like flavor, usually with a yellow skin that darkens as it ripens. As an ingredient, it provides easily digestible energy thanks to natural sugars, is rich in potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C, and fiber, which supports electrolyte balance, heart health, digestion, and a feeling of fullness. In the kitchen, bananas work well in smoothies, muesli, baked goods (cakes, muffins, banana bread), pancakes, desserts, and as a quick snack; they pair well with yogurt, peanut butter, chocolate, cinnamon, or berries. Store at room temperature for further ripening, speed up the process in a paper bag, and to extend freshness, place in the refrigerator — the skin will darken, but the flesh will remain edible; for smoothies, it's worth freezing cut pieces.
