No, bananas are not probiotics.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, provide health benefits to the host. Bananas are a good source of nutrients like potassium and fiber, but they do not contain live bacteria that can benefit your gut health.
Probiotics are found in fermented foods like:
- Yogurt
- Kefir
- Sauerkraut
- Kimchi
- Tempeh
You can also find probiotics in supplement form.
