With regards to size, am I correct that the nutrition facts for a banana do account for the skin? In other words, a medium size banana is listed as 118g. That 118g includes the skin, right?

    I would assume it does not include the skin, since you don't eat that part.

    They account for the part you eat. Weigh your banana with skin. Eat the inside. Weigh the skin and subtract it from the first weight to find the weight of what you ate.

    The skin is the healthiest part. Just like an apple.
