Evidence notes
While banana as a whole food has well-established nutritional benefits (potassium, carbohydrates, micronutrients), powder form maintains these nutrients but lacks clinical research specific to the processed form. Grade reflects the strong evidence base for banana fruit itself as a nutrition source.
Grade B: Some human trials support key claims; further confirmation needed.
