But that's not all the benefits.

Raj added that such bananas are low in calories, do not increase blood glucose levels, and are also useful for diabetics and those losing weight.

When a banana ripens, the starch turns into carbohydrates.

But this does not mean that it is harmful to health. It is also necessary to take into account that the more ripe and brown the banana, the more antioxidants it contains.
