Fruits Tropical & Exotic Phytochemical data available 🇬🇧 CoFID 2021
✦ Excellent potassium ✦ Vitamin B6 contributor ✦ Resistant starch (when green) ✦ Quick natural energy

Bananas are an iconic source of potassium, providing a useful dose alongside vitamin B6, manganese, and vitamin C. Their carbohydrate composition shifts as they ripen — green bananas contain resistant starch (a prebiotic fibre) which converts to free sugars as the fruit yellows and softens.

🍳
Preparation note

Less ripe (green-tipped) bananas have more resistant starch and a lower glycaemic impact; very ripe bananas are sweeter and more easily digested but spike blood sugar faster.
