Banana!

I bet you didn't know that...

- Bananas are naturally radioactive. This comes from the fact that they contain relatively high amounts of potassium. Specifically, they contact Potassium-40, which is a radioactive isotope of potassium.

- Uganda has the highest average per person consumption of bananas in the world.

- Eating a banana can cheer you up! Bananas are the only fruit to contain the amino acid tryptophan plus Vitamin B6, which together help the body produce seratonin - the natural chemical which alleviates mental depression.

- Alexander the Great first came across bananas in India in 327 B.C.

Bananas are awesome :)
