We are one minor mutation of a common banana disease away from having to get an entirely new kind of banana, and frankly we are not prepared for that.
bananas are mid anyway, like red apples. nothing of value lost
they dont even have a lot of potassium, you'd have to eat like 70 bananas to get rdv of potassium.
you want rdv potassium (or most any other vitamin) you need to eat fucking vegetables
You have to eat approximately 10 bananas for rdv of potassium.
rdv for potassium is 4500mg. A banana contains approximately 420-550mg of potassium.
While 70 bananas is probably not going to kill you, ld50 for potassium is 2500mg/kg, that much potassium can exacerbate some heart problems.
Two words: banana bread.
Banana pudding. I'll stab someone over that stuff.
any other fruit with a load of sugar made into bread form tastes the same or better than banana bread
