New Zealanders are the highest consumers of bananas in the world, eating a whopping 18kg per person each year, with the yellow curvy fruit often the number one item sold in the supermarket each week. “Around forty per cent of Kiwis eat their five plus a day and bananas would make up a portion of that. They are also a portable fruit that has other uses like being frozen for smoothies or used in baking when overripe.” https://lnkd.in/gFnGbH8f
