Why are bananas important for kids? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here is a little trivia. Going to the earliest part of the history where bananas became famous, back in 327 B.C., Alexander the Great discovered that the fruit is grown in India. Since then, traders in the Indian Ocean carried bananas to the eastern coast of Africa. Before the second century A.D., Chinese traders introduced banana to the Polynesians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
