Wash before use

Before peeling a banana, it should be washed in warm water.

Few people perform this procedure. And in vain, because the process is very important.

The banana peel should be free of dirt. Otherwise, dirt may get into the pulp.

Don't throw away "white threads"

When peeling the fruit, many gourmets try to remove as many white “threads” from the pulp as possible.

However, it is better not to throw away this fabric, because it contains many components that are beneficial to health.

Refusal of heat treatment

Yes, there are many types of banana baked goods. However, you should not heat the fruit.

If the cook does take this step, the banana will lose two-thirds of its beneficial components.

Try to eat only raw bananas.

Do not eat immediately after lunch/dinner

Many people have this habit: have lunch or dinner and immediately after finishing the meal eat a banana.

This is a bad habit. Banana is not the best dessert. It should not be mixed with other food in the stomach.

It is desirable that the fruit be a separate afternoon snack or meal.

Previously, experts explained what consequences skipping breakfast can lead to.
