Bananas

FRUIT

Well known for their Cavendish variety, bananas actually have a wide number of types. They're primarly eaten on their own or as a topping, but can also be used to sweeten dishes.

Despite being known for their potassium content, bananas have higher levels of other minerals like manganese and copper. Alongside the minerals, bananas also have a good selection of vitamins including B6 and C. Bananas also contain dopamine the well know neurotransmitter, oral intake however does not affect mood, rather only acts as an antioxidant.
