Time for my knowledge:
A raw banana (not including the peel) is 75% water, 23% carbohydrates, 1% protein, and contains negligible fat. A reference amount of 100 grams (3.5 oz) supplies 89 calories, 24% of the Daily Value of vitamin B6, and moderate amounts of vitamin C, manganese, potassium, and dietary fiber, with no other micronutrients in significant content (table).
[SEE USDA Database Entry for this table.]

Although bananas are commonly thought to contain exceptional potassium content, their actual potassium content is not high per typical food serving, having only 12% of the Daily Value for potassium (table). The potassium-content ranking for bananas among fruits, vegetables, legumes, and many other foods is medium. Banana pulp contains serotonin and norepinephrine and produce a melanin-like material on ripening.

Individuals with a latex allergy may experience a reaction to bananas.

Banana peel may have capability to extract heavy metal contamination from river water, similar to other purification materials.
Waste Banana Peel can be used to feed livestock.
Sometimes, the large banana leaves can also be called bananas in some culture.

The Edo period poet Matsuo Bashō is named after the Japanese word 芭蕉 (Bashō) for the Japanese banana. The Bashō planted in his garden by a grateful student became a source of inspiration to his poetry, as well as a symbol of his life and home.

The song "Yes! We Have No Bananas" was written by Frank Silver and Irving Cohn and originally released in 1923; for many decades, it was the best-selling sheet music in history. Since then the song has been rerecorded several times and has been particularly popular during banana shortages.

If one has more facts, one may add them to the comments.
