The seventh is a day for bananas!

Every month on the 7th is Dole Banana Activity Day, Doleバナ活の日, created by Dole to promote the habit of eating bananas regularly for better health.  Dole was established in Japan in 1965 as a branch of Dole Food Company, Inc. in the United States. Then, in December 1982, Dole Japan Inc. was established as a Japan corporation.


Bananas are rich in fiber, resistant starch, and GABA, making them a convenient and nutritious daily snack. The “7” in the date reflects the “nana” in “banana,” encouraging people to incorporate this easy, year‑round fruit into their routines. The day highlights how small, consistent habits can support long‑term wellness.
