Overview of Cavendish Bananas
Cavendish bananas are the most widely grown and consumed variety of bananas in the world. These bananas are known for their bright yellow color when ripe, soft texture, and sweet flavor. Originating from Southeast Asia, the Cavendish variety has become the dominant banana in global markets due to its durability during transportation and its resistance to certain diseases. The fruit is typically medium to large in size, with a thick peel that protects the soft, creamy flesh inside.
Cavendish bananas are a rich source of vitamins, particularly vitamin C and B6, and provide a good amount of dietary fiber, potassium, and other essential nutrients. They are commonly eaten raw as a snack, added to cereals and smoothies, or used in baking and desserts.
