Bananas are the most popular fruit in the United States – and that’s a fact. And with good reason since they’re delicious, portable, inexpensive and packed full of fiber.
Each banana also has a minimum of 450 milligrams of potassium within – nature’s most powerful blood-pressure lowering medicine. Shortage of this vital electrolyte can play a role in raising blood pressure, and ups your odds suffering a stroke.
Bananas can be eaten when you’re on the go, or they can be included in any number of delicious desserts including this one which includes another amazing fruit, the Mango.
