Your gum and mouth health could improve as a result

Even though we typically associate bananas with citrus fruits like oranges or lemons, they also contain a large amount of vitamin C. According to WebMD, bananas contain about ten milligrams of the daily recommended 75 to 90 milligrams of vitamin C.
