I'm intrigued by the mention of a banana. Is there something specific about banana fiber you are referencing?

  No, it’s just that amateur cyclists swear by bananas. Starch, potassium, biodegradable wrapper. Jerseys have handy pockets that can carry several. Walkers and runners often don’t.

    Ah, makes sense. My naive view of bananas would be that they are also relatively high in fiber. This whole thread really underlines how little I understand about a lot of this. :D

      High in pectin. Soluble and insoluble fiber behave differently and I used to be able to explain it somewhat but my brain has been too full of other things lately and I don’t think I can do it justice.
