Bananas provide numerous health benefits, serving as an excellent source of potassium. Consuming a banana daily can assist in preventing high blood pressure and providing soothing protection from ulcers. Additionally, bananas are beneficial for maintaining eye health and promoting bone strength.
Bananas come in a variety of colors such as red, green, and yellow. While all these bananas may taste the same and have similar nutritional values to yellow bananas, the red variety (known as Sevvazhai in Tamil) stands out for its higher carotene content, making it a healthier option compared to other varieties.
The crimson banana is extensively cultivated in Kerala and the Kanya Kumari district. These bananas are considered a delicacy due to their high cost and are typically served at weddings and festivals.
