The difference between green and ripe bananas
Not only different in colour, and taste, green bananas and ripe bananas also differ in nutritional composition.
The main ingredient of green bananas is resistant starch. This is a precious starch, they are not absorbed in the small intestine but movemoves straight down to the large intestine to create colonic bacteria that ferment and digest.
When bananas are ripe, these starches are converted into sugars. In ripe bananas only about 1% starch.
Green bananas are also an excellent source of fibre. Green banana peels are rich in antioxidants and antibacterial agents. Banana flesh is rich in minerals and vitamins…
In short, both green and ripe bananas are good for health. However, not everyone knows that green bananas contain such high nutritional content.
