smells bad to me. just the typical american grocery store kind though. in countries where they have every other banana they actually smell great.

Some people find the smell very strong. Something to do with receptors idk? I know someone with a banana allergy who can immediately tell if he's entered a room with bananas in it from smell alone, even if they're not peeled.

I strongly dislike their taste and am allergic to them, but yeah that are individual problems. Also.. why is high kalium so important?
