That’s nothing — you’d have to eat 20 or so just to get your daily calorie intake up to a decent range!

OMG — 11% daily potassium. You mean, I have to eat ten of these yellow phalluses to get 100% of my daily potassium, every day?

If I hate that many a day, I don’t know if I’d want to be alive for very long. Yow.

Those mini-banana~~nanananagkfsdui~~ things are really tasty. They're also the only kind of sweet ones available in Vanuatu. If you're feeling really adventurous, though, try oven-roasting plantains with a slightly savoury seasoning. YUMMMMMM.

Precision, probably. I see a couple of pages suggesting 0.1-0.3 g fat. It’s just a big yellow carb stick! It’s the anti-butter!

8%, apparently, according to the ods od nih. Looks like nuts (or, uh, some halibut) is the best bet there.

I wonder what percentage of the RDA of magnesium bananas provide? After all, that’s one thing they’re kind of known for in the circles I travel in.
