what amount of sodium and sugar is in a banana
Sodium in Bananas. The amount of sodium varies only minimally, no matter how big your piece of fruit. Anything from a very small 6-inch banana up to a larger 8-inch fruit has about 1 milligram of sodium. Youâll wind up with closer to 2 milligrams of sodium if you have an extra large banana that is around 9 inches long.
A medium banana contains almost 15 grams of sugar, meaning sugar makes up nearly 56 percent of the total amount of carbs. Bananas contain three types of sugar: glucose, fructose and sucrose. Approximately 20 percent, or 3 grams, of the sugar in a banana is sucrose.
