Caloric Values, Single Serving

One extra small banana contains about 70 calories and is less than six inches in length. Take note that this data is based on the common banana - not the finger varieties. The weight is about 81 grams.

Next we have the small banana at 101 grams and about seven inches in length with 90 calories contained therein.

The medium size contains 105 kcals and is 118 grams and about eight inches in length. Note that as the size of our banana increases, we're going up about 15 to 18 calories with the added length.

Finally we have the jumbo size - and this includes specimens that are over eight inches in length and that weigh about 152 grams. These are about twice the size of the extra small species. The extra large size also contains about double the calories of the extra small at 135 kcals.

Health & Nutrition Notes for Bananas

Bananas are a superior source for potassium benefits.

They are also a good source for dietary fiber. Even the extra small size provides over two grams. The jumbo provides four - which is like.......awesomeness .
