Now I understand why you are asking this question. You are from India right. I used to ask this question to my kids' pediatrician before whether I can give bananas to the kids during cold winter. She is also an Indian and practicing in USA for more than 20 years. She said there is no harm in giving banana during winter and there is no proof till now that banana has created any harm while consuming during winter. You can very well eat banana during winter and it also helps in good digestion cos during winter season, food digestion is a very big problem because you will not be more active.

Oh, please dont ever think any fruit is bad during winter. I guess you must be asking this thinking that eating banana during winter will cause you common cold....this is an absolute myth. Please come out of this and have a banana everyday...i would rather say 'A banana a day keeps the doctor at bay' !

I have never heard that it is bad to eat bananas at certain time of the year or certain seasons as bananas are one of the best fruit to have daily as they contain lots of vitamins and other good stuffs. Did you come across an article that said so or something? The only time that eating bananas is not good for your health is when you are eating some bad bananas as in rotten bananas and I guess that would apply to any other fruits as well. Well my friend, unless your doctor has told you otherwise, I suggest that you just keep eating your bananas and do not think too much about that as that could make you go bananas and that is not good. Cheers!

I should think eating bananas at any time of the year is good as they count as one of your five a day.

I don't see any reason eating bananas in winter would be bad for your health. Bananas have lots of vitamins and minerals no matter what time of year it is.
