Research has shown that banana stem can be consumed to prevent kidney stones and also for weight loss. Botanically, it is flower stalk and not a stem. It grows so thick that it supports the entire banana plant. Removing the outer layers, the product forms an edible and fibrous food item having a mild taste and crisp texture. It contains fiber in abundance which helps treat constipation and ulcer in the long run. It also contains Vitamin B6 and Potassium.

A study has recently found that consuming bananas regularly might be very healthy for eyes to keep away blindness or vision-related diseases. They are a good supply of carotenoids which are the compounds responsible for turning the fruits and veggies orange, yellow or red and then get converted into Vitamin A. They are extremely good for eye health. Bananas are anyway a superfood for children because of their sweetness, portion size, texture, availability, and cost.

When bananas are ripe, an enzyme known as tyrosinase causes small and round black dots on their skin which may help to unlock an easier and faster way of diagnosing human skin cancer because the same enzyme is present in human skin as well. It is found in large quantity in the skin of people affected from Melanoma, which is a deadly form of skin cancer. A team of scientists observed this similarity which helped them build a cancer scanner which was proved effective when first tested on banana peels and then on human tissue.
