Immature bananas are an ideal choice for people who are losing weight or want to maintain their figure because fiber and resistant starch have the ability to create a feeling of fullness for longer, limit cravings, thereby reducing the amount of calories consumed in the following meals. In particular, low sugar content and slow digestion make immature bananas an ideal snack to replace snacks or candies containing a lot of sugar and fat.
Unlike ripe bananas with high sugar content, immature bananas with abundant resistant starch will provide stable and long-lasting energy for the body. This is especially useful for people who do mental work, light physical activity or need to maintain concentration for a long time.
Bananas in general and immature bananas in particular are one of the fruits richest in potassium. This is a mineral that plays an important role in keeping blood pressure stable, regulating heart rate and reducing pressure on the blood vessel walls. In addition, magnesium and vitamin B6 in unripe bananas also support a healthy heart, help blood vessels expand and contract flexibly and prevent mild arrhythmias.
Although not as rich in vitamin C as citrus fruits, unripe bananas still provide enough vitamin C to support the immune system. In addition, the vitamin C content and natural antioxidants such as dopamine in unripe bananas also help the body fight free radicals, reduce oxidative stress – a factor related to aging and many chronic diseases.
