A Banana is a fresh fruit that can be eaten straight away or baked into breads, cakes and pies. It weighs 0.2 and fills the stomach well for its size. It also quenches a little thirst.
Bananas spoil within a week, so they are best eaten or baked soon after they are found. They turn up on grocery stands, in ice cream shop fridges and in workplace fridges. They also work as bait for rabbit and raccoon traps. The Farmer is the best occupation for fruits and vegetables. It starts with the most Agriculture skill.
Eating
Eating a Banana lowers hunger by 16 and thirst by 5. It holds 105 calories, almost all of it from 27 grams of carbohydrates. It is safe to eat straight from the stand.
The Banana is a close match for the Apple. Both lower hunger by 16 and weigh 0.2. The Banana holds 10 more calories, while the Apple quenches 2 more points of thirst. The Apple also keeps one day longer before it rots.
A Banana does little for body weight on its own. It is best as a quick snack or as part of a sweet dish.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
A Banana is used as an ingredient rather than cooked on its own. In Bread, a Cake or a sweet Pie it adds 16 hunger. In a Fruit Salad, Pancakes, a Muffin or a Sandwich it adds 8. In an ice cream cone or Oatmeal it adds 4.
Banana bread is a good way to use fruit that is about to turn. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further, so a trained cook gets more out of every banana.
These dishes take the Banana as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Farming
Bananas work as trap bait. They give a 35 percent chance to attract a rabbit or a raccoon.
Trapped animals it lures as bait.
| Animal | Attraction |
|---|---|
| Rabbit | 35% |
| Raccoon | 35% |
Storage
A Banana stays fresh for 5 days and is fully rotten by day 7. A fridge slows both counts down. Baking ripe bananas into bread or cake uses them before they spoil.
Locations
Bananas are a common find wherever fresh food is sold. The grocery stands in Gigamart and grocery stores hold them well over half the time. Ice cream shop fridges carry them just as often. Cafeteria grocery stands and bakery cases are good places to check too. Hospital room fridges hold them fairly often. Office, factory, warehouse and break room fridges turn one up now and then, and so do lunchboxes.
