Native to Southeast Asia and cultivated throughout the tropics, the banana is a well-known tropical fruit known to be a nutritional powerhouse. Packed with healthy carbohydrates, vitamin C and potassium, bananas are especially popular among athletes looking for something fast and healthy to snack on. Bananas are also a great source of the amino acid L-Tryptophan, which is widely regarded to promote relaxation. Additionally, recent studies of bananas have shown that the fruit’s cell walls could be a suitable source of natural antioxidants.
