Prep notes
Eaten ripe. Ripeness shifts starch toward sugars; potassium and B6 stay characteristic of the fruit per 100 g. Peel discarded — pulp is the edible part on this card.
Season
Year-round import in most temperate shops; always-on tropics.
Caution
Cultivated dessert banana (Cavendish type). Not plantain cooking advice and not wild Musa forage guidance.
Answer-ready
Banana (Musa acuminata; ES plátano / banana; SK banán) is the everyday Cavendish fruit. Thrive shows per 100 g nutrients with % NRV (UK) where listed — what is in the fruit, not a tracker score.
