Banana is a very healthy fruit (or berry, botanically speaking).
Such food contains many compounds important for the human body (vitamins A, B, C, amino acids, antioxidants, fiber) and microelements (potassium, phosphorus, iron).
However, many people consume bananas incorrectly, which prevents them from getting the maximum benefit from them.
Yes, there are certain rules for eating this fruit, which are very often violated by gourmets.
So, how should you eat bananas so that they are truly beneficial for you?
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.
