Bananas are the fourth-largest fruit crop and the most popular fruit in the world. They are also very nutritious, with each medium banana containing 105 calories, 22 percent of the daily value for vitamin B-6, 17 percent of the DV for vitamin C and 12 percent of the DV for both potassium and fiber. While bananas are a good source of soluble fiber, they are not high in fiber or soluble fiber; to be high in a nutrient, a food must contain at least 20 percent of the daily value.
Banana fibers expand when wet, naturally creating cavities. Accordingly, the more moisture or water is absorbed, so its diffusiveness improves. In other words, they efficiently absorb perspiration and water, and then dry quickly.
Shirts with banana fibers blended into the fabric are highly regarded for their comfort when worn - especially in summer.
Truly ecological! No additional fields required!
Natural materials have recently been attracting more attention, and dedicated acreage is necessary just to harvest fibers from cotton, linen, and eucalyptus, which is the raw material for tencel fiber. However, banana has long been grown as a product for both export and local consumption, so there are already established plantations for food production. Since the stems used to produce these fibers were previously just discarded amidst the banana harvest, no new cultivated acreage is required.
