>even one banana is only a fraction of the RDA
The potassium = bananas idea in pop culture was born in the 2000s thanks to a slew of highly publicized "studies" bankrolled by, you guessed it, major food companies of the time.

You know what contains massively more potassium than bananas?
Chicken.
Tomatoes.
Almost every dried fruit.
And most foods you'll eat in a day if you eat a Medi diet.

"NOOOO YOU NEED THIS SPECIFIC FOOD TO GET X NUTRIENT" is a statement guaranteed to be false for literally every single nutrient-food combination to have ever existed in history, which is something that becomes self-evident when you ask yourself "Wait, if this is essential to survival and health, then how did people from places where this food isn't found live?"
The answer is just as well without it.
"Superfoods" do not exist.
