Banana is rich in many nutrients. It contains potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6 and dietary fiber.

In a ripe banana, the amount of these nutrients does not change. But when the fruit ripens, the starch in its composition turns into sugar. Therefore, the banana becomes much sweeter over time.

This does not mean that green bananas are healthier than yellow ones. After all, our digestive system still converts starch into sugar.

However, unripe bananas are healthier. They contain slightly more resistant starch, also called resistant starch. It supports beneficial intestinal microflora, helps to reduce inflammation in this organ and regulates blood sugar levels. Resistant starch helps with weight loss as it gives you a feeling of fullness.

Banana companies claim that all yellow bananas should be eaten, as well as those fruits that are covered with small brown spots. But green bananas are not harmful to your health.
