Banana is the common name given to the large-leaved giant herb plants extending from the tribe Musaceae . The fruit bunches are arranged in groups composed menjari , called comb . Almost all bananas have yellow skin when ripe , though some were colored orange , red , green , purple , or even almost black . Bananas as food is a source of energy ( carbohydrates ) and minerals , especially potassium . Bananas are known as one of the super foods for athletes and health experts . The content of the three natural sugars , sucrose , fructose and glucose as well as the fiber gives energy to the combustion energy for 90 minutes nonstop . Energy value of bananas around 136 calories for every 100 grams , which as a whole comes from carbohydrates . Energy value of banana twice higher than apples . Apples with the same weight ( 100 grams ) contains only 54 calories . Carbohydrates provide energy bananas slightly slower than with sugar and syrup , but much faster than rice , biscuits , and a type of bread . Therefore , many athletes during pauses or breaks eat bananas as an energy reserve . Energy content of bananas is instant energy , which is readily available in a short time , making it useful in providing instantaneous calorie needs . Carbohydrates banana is a complex carbohydrate and a moderate level of available gradually , so as to provide energy in a time not too fast . Carbohydrate reserves bananas are excellent energy use and can be quickly made ??available to the body . Sugar banana is a fruit sugar , is composed of fructose has a lower glycemic index than glucose , so it's pretty good as a store of energy for a little more slowly metabolized . After working hard or think , always arise drowsiness . This situation is a sign of the brain is deprived of energy , so that the biological activity also declined . To carry out its activities , the brain needs energy in the form of glucose . Blood glucose is vital for the brain to function properly , such as expressed in the ability of memory . Glucose is mainly derived from the brain blood circulation due to glycogen as glucose reserves are very limited existence. Blood glucose is mainly derived from carbohydrate food intake . Banana is the best alternative for providing energy in times of rest or pause , when the brain is rapidly available energy needed for biological activity . However , the content of protein and fat banana was not good and is very low , at only 2.3 percent and 0.13 percent . However, the fat and protein content of bananas are still higher than the apple , which is only 0.3 percent . Therefore, do not be afraid of obesity despite eating bananas in large quantities .
