Why are bananas so good for us? Bananas are full of fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals that are important for every family member. Bananas are one of the best fruit sources of vitamin B6, which is especially good for pregnant women and babie. They’re also a super source of vitamin C, which helps to support our immune systems.
