Bananas are some of the most popular types of fruit in the world. They can be prepared in hundreds of different ways and kids love them.
However, what you may not know is that the peel is just as nutritious as the inside because it provides plenty of iron, potassium, B vitamins, vitamins C and K.
Moreover, they also contain good amounts of magnesium, fiber, antioxidants, and copper.
For best results, try to choose only organic fruits to avoid exposing your body to harmful substances like pesticides and fertilizers used during cultivation.
