Bananas are one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world, but did you know they hold some surprising secrets? At Karviva, where we believe in harnessing the power of whole plants, bananas play a unique role in our wellness philosophy. Here are some fun and little-known facts about this nutritious fruit:
Bananas Are Berries
Botanically, bananas are classified as berries, while strawberries, ironically, are not! This is due to the way the banana develops from a single ovary of a flower.
Potassium Powerhouse
Bananas are packed with potassium, an essential mineral that supports heart health, muscle function, and hydration. That’s why Karviva Pure includes potassium-rich ingredients like kale and aloe to promote electrolyte balance.
A Mood Booster
Banana contain vitamin B6, which plays a key role in serotonin production, potentially uplifting your mood. Pairing this with Karviva JoyD can enhance your day with plant-based nourishment.
Bananas are an amazing fruit, but just like any food, portion control is key. Since they are naturally higher in sugar than some other fruits, they’re best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. You can find banana in Karviva Whole Plant Smoothies, they are mixed with whole grains, seeds and spices to deliver a full spectrum of nutrients.
