Brits name the banana their number one fruit

LONDON, England – When you think about British fruit, what probably springs to mind is orchards full of apples, pears and plums.

LONDON, England – When you think about British fruit, what probably springs to mind is orchards full of apples, pears and plums. However, a recent survey carried out by the office fruit delivery company Fruitdrop found that when it comes to snacking on fruit, most people – a huge 40% in fact – prefer to have a banana above anything else.

Brits’ top five fruits, in order of preference, are:

1. Bananas (40%)

2. Apples (23%)

3. Pears (14%)

4. Oranges (15%)

5. Plums (8%)

Ben Thompson, managing director of Fruitdrop comments: “Bananas are the perfect snack for busy office workers. Not only do they come with their own natural wrapping – making them the easiest snack to grab on the go – but they provide a fantastic boost of slow-release energy for your brain and body.”

Studies have shown that a healthy employee is up to 20% more productive than an unhealthy employee. Plus, having fruit in the office means workers are far more likely to reach for that instead of unhealthy vending machine snacks.
