Bananas, raw, flesh only, weighed with skin

Bananas are a fruit, and this entry describes raw banana flesh, with the weight of the skin included when weighing. The figures therefore refer to 100g of banana weighed with its skin, although only the flesh is eaten. Bananas mainly provide carbohydrate: this amount contains 13g of carbohydrate, including 11g of sugars, alongside 0.9g of fibre and 208mg of potassium.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. The sugars in raw banana occur naturally within the fruit. For people monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake, both the amount eaten and the weighing method matter when interpreting these figures. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
