It also contains carotene, thiamine, niacin, vitamin C, vitamin E, and rich trace elements such as potassium. Among them, vitamin A can promote growth and enhance resistance to diseases. It is necessary to maintain normal fertility and vision; thiamine can resist beriberi, promote appetite, aid digestion, and protect the nervous system; riboflavin can promote normal growth and development of the human body. In addition to being eaten as fresh fruit, banana fruits can also be used for processing. For example, ripe bananas can be made into banana powder for making cakes and bread; the fruit can be fermented to brew banana wine or extract alcohol; mature fruits can be processed into cans, preserved fruits, dried bananas, juices, flavors, etc. Banana pseudostems, suckers, and flower buds all contain a lot of nutrients and are good green fodder for pigs. Pseudostems and leaves are rich in cellulose and can be used to make ropes, woven fabrics, and paper. The juice of the pseudostems can be used to extract a food preservative and a dye fixative. The ash content of the pseudostems is very high and can be used to make alkali water. The pseudostems and leaves have a high potassium content. Chopping them up and returning them to the field can increase soil organic matter and loosen the soil, while also increasing soil potassium.

From a nutritional point of view, bananas are beneficial fruits rich in starch (so it is not advisable to eat too much, it is easy to gain weight). From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, bananas are sweet and cold in nature, which can clear away heat and moisten the intestines, and promote gastrointestinal motility, but it is not suitable for people with spleen deficiency and diarrhea. There is always a reasonable explanation for everything. Bananas are cold in nature. According to the principle of "cold for those who are hot", they are most suitable for people with dryness and heat. People with hemorrhoid bleeding and those who have fetal movement disorders due to dryness and heat can eat banana flesh raw. However, precisely because bananas are cold in nature, people with weak and cold constitutions should avoid them. For example, people with stomach cold (bland mouth and bloating), weak and cold (diarrhea, easy dizziness), nephritis (also weak and cold), and swollen feet during pregnancy should not eat bananas raw. Unless the banana flesh is steamed and the coldness is reduced, it can be eaten. As for cold cough, bananas should not be eaten, but it is acceptable to steam bananas before eating. Folk prescriptions are more useful for stewing bananas with rock sugar to treat chronic coughs; using bananas to boil wine as a diet therapy. Modern medicine suggests that bananas can be used to treat high blood pressure because they are rich in potassium, which can balance the adverse effects of sodium and promote cell and tissue growth. Bananas can be used to treat constipation because they can promote gastrointestinal motility. The most interesting thing is that German researchers said that bananas can be used to treat depression and emotional anxiety because they can promote the secretion of endorphin chemicals in the brain. In short, people with hot bodies can eat one banana a day, but if you are afraid that bananas are cold, you can cook the banana pulp before eating.
