Bananas are the most popular fruit in the world. This may be a little bit surprising, since they are a tropical fruit that doesn’t grow in most places. They don’t grow in most of the United States, but the average American eats 26 pounds of bananas each year. Bananas are a fresh fruit that is available all year, so they’re especially valuable in the winter when fresh fruit is less plentiful.

Are bananas nutritious?

Bananas contain no fat, but they have 1 gram of protein, 28 grams of carbohydrates (that’s two servings, officially), no added sugar, 3 grams of fiber, and 450 mg potassium. That makes them a good source potassium, an important mineral. They also contain Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, magnesium, manganese, and resistant starch, which can help prevent blood sugar spikes.

So yes, bananas are nutritious.

What should you not do in food photography?

7 Food photography mistakes you should avoid The hero isn't clear. ... There's no narrative. ... An overpowering supporting cast. ... Incorrect lighting style & techniques. ... The wrong depth of field. ... Unnecessary distractions. ... Not shooting tethered.

Although it might sound obvious, you’d be surprised at how easy it can be to get caught up in creating a shot and lose sight of what the hero is. Applicable to all types of photography, the key to great food photography is to elevate the hero and subdue the supporting cast. Two of the easiest ways to do this is through composition and lighting. When it comes to the composition, the hero doesn’t have to necessarily be the central item in the frame. It doesn’t even have to be entirely in the frame, but it should be the main focus. Think about using smaller or less significant items to guide the viewer’s eye to the subject, or even props to point to the subject. Lighting can also be used to guide the viewer’s attention to the hero and we can easily use many different lighting techniques to make the subject stand out. For examples of this, take a look at the classes in our food photography course. You’ll see numerous examples in the live critique show where by simply shifting the contrast in an image we can control where the viewer looks in an image.
