You better be joking comrade. Potatoes feed the masses. Don’t be dissing the people’s food.
I’m not saying not to eat bananas, but if your goal is potassium, there’s way better options. It would take 9 bananas to get your daily intake vs like 4 medium sized potatoes… or like 3 cups of beat greens or 4 cups of swiss chard or spinach leaves. You could literally make a medium sized salad and get the whole go of potassium right there and have less than half your daily calories in.
Also, I’m just gonna say it, bananas are a pain in the ass to manage. You get a whole bunch and then there like a 3 day window for when they are good to eat. So I guess it’s good you need to eat so many to get in that potassium. lol. I mean sure, you could eat them when they aren’t fully ripe… if you are a psychopath, and sure, when they are overripe you can make banana bread, but like, nobody does that. Potatoes? Leave those things in an old cupboard for like 3 or 4 months, or longer, and they will still be good. Dry them into powder and have instant mashed potatoes whenever. There’s like, a bajillion ways to cook potatoes and add them to other dishes.

Thesis: bananas
Antithesis: potatoes
Synthesis: plantains
That’s fair. Plantains have about 50% more potassium than bananas which is also around 50-60% less than a potato. Lmao
