Banana size classifications used in nutrition labeling are based on length ranges rather than a single fixed measurement, since bananas naturally vary in size depending on variety and ripeness.
Edible portion
The peel accounts for roughly 30 to 40% of a banana’s total weight, meaning a medium 4.2 ounce banana yields about 2.6 to 3 ounces (75 to 85 grams) of edible fruit once peeled.
