It all boils down to botany and some interesting definitions. A berry can be defined as having numerous seeds and a fleshy inner layer, and bananas have just that. Bite into the sweet flesh of any banana, and have you seen its tiny seeds at the centre?
That's not all, in the nitty-gritties of botany terminology, the banana is part of the Musaceae from which other plants branch out. Thus, the banana has relations from turmeric to cardamom, and is also referred to as a herb.
It ain't just for monkeys either! Bananas are rich in potassium that helps regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of stroke! In addition, potassium keeps your muscles in good shape during exercise. Go bananas, add them to fruit salads, baked desserts or oatmeal to boost nutrition!
