Bananas are the most consumed fresh fruit - the average person eats 32 pounds of bananas a year. They're the most popular fruit in many developed countries and a staple food in many developing countries. Now, not all of these are Cavendish, of course. Other countries, especially in banana-producing regions, have much wider varieties of bananas in their diets.

The only fruit more popular is tomatoes - the average person eats 50 pounds of those a year. But they are typically not consumed fresh.
