For people taking metformin or other drugs for diabetes, it is relevant to consider the level of carbohydrates in bananas. Wikipedia tells me 22.8 grams / 3.5 oz.

If it’s potassium you’re after, raisins are multiple times higher than bananas. I was surprised to learn this. Raisins are high in sugar, though, so careful with that.

And if it’s just potassium you are after, try a small carton of coconut water (not coconut milk) it has double or triple (or more) potassium than a banana. It doesn’t polish your shoes, tho. 🙂

The oil from the inside of a banana skin is a natural shoe polish. Try it!
