The benefits of bananas depending on their ripeness
The choice of bananas also depends on their health benefits, as different ripeness levels provide different nutrients. To help you decide, you’ll find all the important information here.
Green banana
Green bananas are firm and have a slightly tart taste. They contain more resistant starch, a type of complex carbohydrate that our bodies digest more slowly, which has a positive effect on digestion and blood sugar control. Resistant starch also acts as a prebiotic, nourishing beneficial gut bacteria. However, due to their higher starch content, green bananas can be more difficult for some people to digest.
Yellow bananas
When bananas ripen and turn yellow, the resistant starch breaks down into simple sugars like glucose, fructose, and sucrose. This makes the bananas sweeter and easier to digest. Yellow bananas are rich in antioxidants, including dopamine and vitamin C. They are also a good source of B vitamins, such as vitamin B6, which plays an important role in energy metabolism.
