Bananas Are a Big Deal in Uganda

Although the people of Uganda are primarily Christian, around 14% of the popularity identify as Muslim. In fact, they have their own Ramadan traditions, and their own Ramadan dishes that they love to eat. And while many of the foods within their Iftar meals are similar to those across the globe, they do things a little differently by adding bananas to their feasts. Bananas are considered an essential, and they can't get enough of them.

When you think about it, this makes sense. As people in Uganda fast for around 12 hours a day, they probably need this slow-releasing energy and potassian from the bananas to keep them fit and healthy while they're fasting.
