Banana
Musa acuminata or Musa balbisiana

Bananas are a somewhat crescent-shaped fruit indigenous to tropical areas in the South and East Hemisphere. When unripe, they are green, but turn into a bright yellow once ripe. Similar to pineapples, bananas are surprisingly considered berries. Another surprising fact is that humans share around 50% of the same DNA as bananas! This fruit is very nutritious, having high levels of potassium, and can improve your blood sugar levels.
