Bananas are easy to digest and absorb, and can be eaten with peace of mind from children to the elderly, and supplemented with balanced nutrition.
The nutritional value of plantain and banana is similar. From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, both of them have the effect of relaxing bowels. However, bananas are cool, flat, and people with stomach cold should not eat more. Generally, the elderly should eat plantain.

Banana (scientific name: Musa basjoo? Siebold), a perennial herb, is native to Ryukyu Islands. It can be cultivated in the open field south of Huaihe River in Qinling Mountains in China, mostly near gardens and farmhouses.
Leaf fiber is the raw material of banana cloth (called banana kudzu) and also the raw material of papermaking. Pseudostems have antipyretic effect, and pseudostems and leaves are diuretic (used for edema and anal distension). After the flowers are dried, they are decocted to treat cerebral hemorrhage, and the roots are decocted with ginger and licorice to treat stranguria and diabetes, and to cure colds, stomachaches and abdominal pains.
Banana pulp, flowers, leaves and roots are rich in trace elements such as sugar, amino acids, cellulose, minerals, selenium and various compounds, which are homologous in medicine and food and rich in nutrition.
The researchers used water extraction, alcohol extraction and petroleum ether extraction to conduct qualitative experiments on the chemical components of banana roots. The water extract contains protein, amino acids, saccharides, organic acids, saponins and other substances. The alcohol extract contains anthraquinones, flavonoids, coumarins, phenols, cardiac glycosides, protein, amino acids and other chemicals. Petroleum ether extract contains lipophilic components such as volatile oil, steroids, oil, lactone, coumarin, etc. It is determined that banana root contains cyanosides.
