Use the banana to bake a cake instead of just eating it as a fruit....
以其只把香蕉当水果吃，不如也烘焙一个香蕉蛋糕·。。。。
Bananas are an excellent source of vitamin B6, soluble fiber, and contain moderate amounts of vitamin C, manganese and potassium. Along with other fruits and vegetables, consumption of bananas may be associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer and in women, breast cancer and renal cell carcinoma. Banana ingestion may affect dopamine production in people deficient in the amino acid tyrosine, a dopamine precursor present in bananas. Individuals with a latex allergy may experience a reaction to bananas
Bananas are eaten deep fried, baked in their skin in a split bamboo, or steamed in glutinous rice wrapped in a banana leaf. Bananas can be made into jam. Banana pancakes are popular amongst backpackers and other travelers in South Asia and Southeast Asia. This has elicited the expression Banana Pancake Trail for those places in Asia that cater to this group of travelers. Banana chips are a snack produced from sliced dehydrated or fried banana or plantain, which have a dark brown color and an intense banana taste. Dried bananas are also ground to make banana flour. Extracting juice is difficult, because when a banana is compressed, it simply turns to pulp. Bananas feature prominently in Philippine cuisine, being part of traditional dishes and desserts like maruya, turrón, and halo-halo. Most of these dishes use the Saba or Cardaba banana cultivar. Pisang goreng, bananas fried with batter similar to the Filipino maruya, is a popular dessert in Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia. A similar dish is known in the United States as banana fritters.
Plantains are used in various stews and curries or cooked, baked or mashed in much the same way as potatoes.
Seeded bananas (Musa balbisiana), one of the forerunners of the common domesticated banana, are sold in markets in Indonesia.
香蕉幾乎含有所有的维生素和礦物質，因此從中可以很容易地攝取各種營養素。香蕉食物纖維含量豐富，而且雖然因甜度甚高而得其名，但是一根淨重約100克的香蕉的热量大約相當是一餐白飯的一半或以下而已。
香蕉含有相當多的鉀和鎂。鉀能防止血壓上升及肌肉痙攣，而鎂則具有消除疲勞的效果。香蕉也是一種天然的制酸劑。由於香蕉對消化、吸收相當良好，因此從小孩、到老年人，都能安心地食用，並補給均衡的營養，甚至對大腦也有一些幫助。
根據一項綜合了11項過去的國際研究結果的分析，發現香蕉中的鉀離子可以降低中風危險。高血壓患者體內往往「鈉」多而「鉀」少，香蕉中含有豐富的鉀離子能抑制鈉離子，維持體內的鈉鉀平衡。從膳食中每攝入1.6克鉀（約３根香蕉），中風的機率會下降21%。
此外，一項在2009年由香港中文大學進行的體外實驗發現，美國地捫香蕉含有的一種「凝集素」(lectin)，可促進可殺死癌细胞的「腫瘤壞死因子」(tumor necrosis factor-alpha, TNF-α)及調節免疫力的「介白質-2」(interleukin-2)和「干擾素伽瑪」(interferon-gamma)的產生，並能抑制白血病細胞株(L1210)及人類肝癌細胞株(HepG2)的增生。
亦有美國密西根大學的研究指出，香蕉內含的一種「凝集素」BanLec，可以在愛滋病毒外膜上發揮作用，阻止其入侵感染，進而降低病毒傳散率。
