A banana is a type of food that restores 2 Hitpoints when eaten. It can be found on trees in tropical locations, such as Karamja and Ape Atoll, or bought from various stores. Six bananas can be picked at a time from a banana tree grown by planting a banana sapling in a fruit tree patch with 33 Farming. They can also be obtained by using the spell Bones to Bananas, which converts bones of all types in the caster's inventory to bananas.

A single banana is required to cast the standard spellbook Ape Atoll Teleport with 64 Magic. The teleport can be added to a portal chamber or portal nexus, requiring 100 and 1,000 bananas respectively.

10 bananas are required for the Pirate's Treasure quest and 5 are required for Monkey Madness I. During the quest Tai Bwo Wannai Trio, a banana must be sliced using a knife or other sharp sword to create a sliced banana.

A basket of bananas can be created by using 1-5 bananas on an empty basket. Five full baskets of banana are required for a gardener to look after curry trees.

A banana is one of the three items retrieved from satchels obtained through the Creature Creation activity.

Trivia

  • Most weapons with an attack style that's considered Slash can be used to cut a banana into Sliced banana. This can result in some humorous or nonsensical combinations.
    • Examples include cutting bananas with an abyssal whip, some beach boxing gloves or a butterfly net.
    • This interaction is unique to bananas, they cannot be used to slice other fruits or food items.
  • A one-time medium clue scroll can be rarely obtained (1/256 chance[1]) from feeding a monkey bananas. When this happens, a message appears in the player's chatbox saying "The monkey chews on the banana and spits out a clue!".
