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.
