One bad thing is that you can't have them near other fruit because they will make all the other fruit ripen way faster than it should, that's why your fruit bowls suck and you have to replace your non banana fruit often.

They automatically come with a sense of scale.

Bananas can replace egg when baking desserts. 34 grams of banana per one egg is perfect btw.

My GI tract always hates bananas, for whatever reason. That's my main con.

even one bite makes gives me such an insane stomach pain and nausea that I'm crying in my bed for three days. and it's not stomach cramps, it just feels like my entire belly will explode and nothing comes out. years ago i could eat them just fine, but now it's also pears and berries...

It's funny that the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" banana/potassium line is still being passed around as fact.

Bananas are way overrated. Not nearly as much potassium as potatoes. As far as fruits go, they are lower fiber, high sugar (aka the not good kind of carbs).

And you know how they turn brown quickly after being exposed to air? That process virtually eliminates the absorption of any sources of antioxidants that it might be mixed with. Like adding bananas to your smoothies? If you were hoping for health benefits, you just wasted your money.

Its almost as good as potato!
