Meet the Rhino Horn Plantain, a hybrid banana cultivar originating in Africa that bears fruit up to 2 feet (60cm) long â though average specimens range from 12 to 14 inches (about 32cm).
Since bananas come in a variety of sizes and most people donât slice them and measure them by the cup, the USDA gives approximations for how much banana constitutes a 1/2-cup or a 1-cup equivalent. A small-sized banana, or one thatâs less than 6 inches long, is equal to 1/2 cup of fruit. A large-sized banana, or one between 8 and 9 inches long, counts as 1 cup of fruit. By these standards, an average-sized banana counts as 3/4 cup of fruit toward your total daily intake.
