Bananas are primarily cultivated for food but also to produce fibers and tea bags. Bananas consist mainly of sugars and fiber, making them a good source of immediate and sustained energy. Bananas for puree production should be harvested at maturity for use in beverages, baby food, snacks, jam and sauces. Antifungal and antibiotic properties are found in the peel and pulp of ripe and green bananas which can act against bacteria and fungal diseases.
