Green Bananas

Green bananas (unlike their ripe counterparts) have a high starch content. They specifically contain resistant starch, which passes through the body undigested.
Resistant starch: 
🍌Increases absorption of important minerals like calcium and magnesium;
🍌Decreases absorption of toxic and carcinogenic compounds
🍌Helps with insulin sensitivity
🍌Lowers overall blood glucose levels
🍌Increases feelings of satiety
🍌As a prebiotic, promotes the growth of probiotic bacteria (particularly bifidobacterium) in the digestive tract, important for a healthy digestive system and overall wellness.
🍌Increases fermentation and the production of short-chain fatty acids like butyrate. Why is this important? Well, these acids lower the pH of our bowel, making it less hospitable for nasty pathogens and bad bacteria.

In addition to starch, raw bananas contain Vitamins A, C, and B6, and potassium.
What a superfood! 💚
