Extended data

Banana is an important plant resource in tropical and subtropical regions. Pseudo-stem fiber of banana hemp (Manila hemp) can be used to make rope resistant to seawater immersion. The cultivated banana (or plantain) is one of the famous fruits in tropical and subtropical areas, and it can also be used as a food substitute, mainly made into dried bananas (or banana powder) to eat.

Dried bananas or banana powder are rich in nutrients (roughly analyzed, starch is 74%, protein is 3.7-4.2%, fat is 0.5 1%, and water 1.2- 1.9%), among which protein content is quite high, and banana starch is particularly easy to digest and rich in vitamins A, B and C.
