If you mean putting bananas in a jar and eating or storing them there, the benefits depend on what else is in the jar (for example, overnight oats, yogurt, or a smoothie). Simply placing a banana in a jar does not create special health benefits beyond the banana itself.

If You Mean “Banana Water” in a Jar
Some people soak banana peels in water and drink it. Claims that it provides major health benefits or cures medical conditions are not well supported by scientific evidence.
Things to Keep in Mind
Bananas are nutritious, but they are not a miracle food.
People with certain kidney conditions may need to monitor potassium intake and should follow medical advice.
Eating a variety of fruits is generally better than relying heavily on a single fruit.
