Chiquita Banana Day
Why Chiquita bananas?
Chiquita bananas offer a whole host of important health benefits. Packed with loads of essential vitamins and minerals – including Vitamin C, B6, potassium, fiber and long lasting natural sugars – bananas are perfect as a healthy snack any time of day. Bananas can also be easily stored (frozen) so you can buy a lot in one go and peel and freeze them when they’re starting to go a bit brown.
